Yes I think this is part of their ''arsenal'' and it was ready to be implemented in this emergency. It also begs the question for me: "Were they tipped off that this was a bigger issue than what we were all lead to believe from the get go?" (MOO)
I don't doubt for a minute that other governments have this capability as well.
Tipped off ... or not happy for Malaysia to be conducting the investigation. Some countries have always seemed quieter than I expected from them, in allowing Malaysia to conduct the investigation.
I read that there is a meeting this coming week, in Canberra, between Malaysia, China and Australia to further discuss the upcoming search and the costs involved. Could be a bit of a tense meeting with this new revelation.
During the tripartite meeting, Hishammuddin said, the Malaysian delegation would sign a memorandum of understanding between Malaysia and Australia.
“It is important to note that the cabinet appreciates and is thankful for Australia’s contribution in the search efforts for MH370. We are also thankful to the Chinese government for their commitment to the trilateral agreement that has been established.”
