Top U.S. General: Here’s Where To Look For Jet
‘It’s possible the U.S. knows much more than it’s saying’

Retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Air Medal with 17 oak-leaf clusters, Distinguished Service Medal and others, is suggesting searchers looking for the missing Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 take a look at strategic air bases in Pakistan.
In an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, McInerney, now a contributor to the network, said his recommendation was based on information from sources he was unwilling to disclose on television, as well as the recommendation from an intelligence service called Lignet.
McInerney said the free world needs to be worried until the location of the jet, which disappeared March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, is determined.
“My concern is if this airplane could be used as a bearer of a weapon of mass destruction or even conventional munitions that could attack a carrier, Israel, our allies,” he said. “We have to be very alert until we know exactly where this airplane is.”
Investigators have said the airplane changed course shortly after takeoff, heading toward the region that includes Pakistan. They also have said they are looking into the politics of the pilot, who had a Boeing 777 simulator set up in his own home, and from which data recently had been deleted, as well as the politics of the co-pilot.
McInerney said there are at least three bases in Taliban-controlled areas of western Pakistan that could handle the jet.
That would line up with reports that the last “ping” heard from the jet’s Rolls Royce motors was about seven hours after takeoff in Malaysia.
Lignet, the Langley Intelligence Group Network, provides global intelligence and forecasting by former CIA officers and others.
