Malaysia will issue report on missing jet

Malaysia will release a preliminary report on Thursday on the disappearance of flight MH370 nearly two months after it went missing, according to a Transport Ministry official.

Malaysian media reported interim transport and defense minister Hishammuddin Hussein as saying on Wednesday that the report would be made public.

According to state news agency Bernama, Hishammuddin said the report would be similar to the one forwarded to the International Civil Aviation Organization. The ICAO requires countries to submit a factual run-down of what is known so far in any air crash within 30 days.
