FBI joins search for missing Malaysia plane

The FBI is aiding the Malaysian
government's search for an
airliner missing for more than a
week, the White House has
confirmed.

The US investigators are
believed to be helping the
Malaysians search a home flight
simulator belonging to one of
the pilots of flight MH370 for
clues.

The pilot is said to have deleted
some files from the computer
simulator.

Teams from 26 countries are
trying to find flight MH370,
which went missing on 8 March
with 239 people on board.

Earlier, frustration with the
search boiled over into chaotic
scenes as Chinese relatives were
dragged away from journalists
in Malaysia's capital, Kuala
Lumpur.

They were attempting to speak
to Chinese journalists outside
the daily press conference.

A BBC reporter was pushed
away from the relatives, who
were carrying banners
criticising the handling of the
case.

One of the relatives, a middle-
aged woman, cried:

"They give
different messages every day!
Where's the flight now? Find
our relatives! Find the aircraft!"

The Malaysian government said
later it regretted the scenes and
ordered an investigation, saying:

"one can only imagine the
anguish they are going
through".
