No trace of missing Malaysia jet found in Cambodia

Cambodia found no sign of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 at its sea after the country conducted search operations since Tuesday, a search team leader said on Wednesday evening.
“We have been using four helicopters and two naval vessels to search at islands and maritime zone near Vietnamese border since on Tuesday but have not found any trace of the missing flight MH370,” Vice Admiral Tea Sokha, Commander of the Cambodian Maritime Space, told Xinhua over the telephone. “Search operations are still going on.”
The Cambodian Ministry of Defence on Tuesday also ordered every unit under the command of Infantry, Navy, Air Force and other units, which were based on the islands, to search for any signals.
Also engaged in the search are the surveillance vessels patrolling on the Cambodian maritime zone, with the fishermen in the search for any signals of the missing plane.
“The Ministry of Defence vows to actively join with other countries to search for the missing jetliner and is ready to help facilitate and support the China-Malaysia search and rescue team if they are willing to come to Cambodia for further search or investigation,” the ministry said in a statement.
The flight MH 370, carrying 239 people, including 154 Chinese nationals, enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, mysteriously disappeared from radar in the early hours of March 8.
Malaysia on Saturday decided to shift the search to one of the two possible corridors – a northern one from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, and a southern one stretching from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysia’s Acting Transport Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said the number of countries involved in the search and rescue operations had risen to 26 on Monday.
