'U.S. military shot down MH370 because they thought it had been hacked and was about to be used in terror attack', claims former airline boss
- Marc Dugain says U.S. Navy in Indian Ocean attacked the plane
- He claims that islanders saw the plane fly close to a U.S. base
- Also alleges that a spy told him to back away from his probe into MH370
A
former airline boss and writer claims the U.S. downed Malaysia Airlines
flight MH370 because the military feared it had been taken over by
hackers and was about to be used in a 9/11-style attack.
Marc
Dugain, the former chief executive of now-defunct Proteus Airlines,
said the jumbo jet was shot down near a U.S. military base on the remote
island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean after it was hacked.
He told Paris Match that islanders in the Maldives near Diego Garcia told him they saw the missing aircraft flying low.
Dugain spoke of a fisherman on a small island who spoke of a 'huge plane' in Malaysie Airline's colours on March 8.

The former airline exec told Paris
Match that islanders in the Maldives near Diego Garcia told him they saw
the missing aircraft flying low.
He also said islanders had found an empty fire extinguisher from the plane in the water near Baarah island.
The
Senegal-born Frenchman, who is now a successful novelist, also told a
radio station he was warned not to investigate MH370 by an intelligence
source, who spoke of 'risks' and counselled him to 'let time do its
work'.
Last
week grieving family members of Chinese passengers from a missing
Malaysia Airlines flight protested outside the foreign ministry in
Beijing Friday accusing the government of failing to provide them with
regular updates on the search for the aircraft.
About
30 people, many of them elderly, gathered at the gates of the ministry
with temperatures approaching freezing and were confronted by a line of
police.

demanded to speak to government officials in a bid to get more
information on the search for flight MH370. Police manhandled and pushed
protesters that attempted to enter the gate and warned passersby to
leave the area immediately.
'My
son is alive and I want to know what the government is doing to find
him,' said Liu Dianyun, the mother of one of the passengers.
Some drove for two hours to attend the demonstration, despite acknowledging that their efforts were unlikely to produce results.
Chinese
passengers account for about two-thirds of the 239 people who were
aboard the Boeing 777, which vanished on March 8 en route from Kuala
Lumpur to China's capital.
Dozens of their relatives were reportedly beaten and arrested earlier this year.
Australia
has been spearheading the hunt for the plane, which is believed to have
crashed in the southern Indian Ocean off western Australia.
