Malaysia Says It Has Few Leads on Missing Jet
Malaysian authorities acknowledged they have few leads Tuesday into the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner and were actively exchanging intelligence with other nations to explore every angle, from sabotage to mechanical failure.

With no leads on the missing Boeing Co. 777-200 airliner that was last seen on radar at 1:30 a.m. Malaysia time on Saturday, investigators are exploring all angles, including profiling the passengers for possible psychological issues.

"We are exchanging information and intelligence with other nations," said Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar.

A separate team, led by Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation, is examining possible mechanical trouble that could have caused the jet to disappear. However, with the missing plane still to be located, the top priority is to search for the aircraft.

Police and immigration authorities are already profiling all passengers and crew onboard. Immigration chief Aloyah Mamat told reporters in Kuala Lumpur that proper procedures were followed by her staff in clearing the passengers of MH370.

Mr. Khalid said no information has been received linking the plane's disappearance to terrorism.

Chinese authorities have provided personal details about all the passengers from the country.

Police investigators hope to scour through records to check for possible insurance fraud or any psychological problems with any of the 239 people onboard, he added.
