KUALA LUMPUR: The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) expects to complete the analysis of data from a flight simulator used by the pilot of a lost Malaysian airliner “within a day or two”, according to an AFP news agency report.
AFP, the French news agency, had quoted FBI chief James B Comey as saying that experts were working round-the-clock to complete their analysis based on the data retrieved from a flight simulator owned by Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah, pilot of the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 which went missing on March 8.
The data was taken from Zaharie’s house in Shah Alam by Bukit Aman police on March 15.
“Malaysia took us up on our technical abilities, which involves the exploitation of certain computer forensic materials that they’ve given to us. That work is ongoing.
“I don’t want to say more about that in an open setting, but I expect it to be done fairly shortly, within a day or two,” Comey told a House of Representatives sub-committee meeting in Washington to discuss the FBI’s 2015 budget request.
Comey did not indicate, however, whether the result of the analysis would be made public. — Bernama
