KUALA LUMPUR: Embattled Malaysia Airlines faced fresh outrage on Tuesday as it confirmed one of its planes flew over war-torn Syria, just days after the MH17 disaster laid bare the risks civilian aircraft face in flying over war zones.
The Malaysian flag carrier confirmed that flight MH004, bound from London for Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, re-routed over Syria following the closure of the flight's usual route over Ukraine in the wake of the MH17 tragedy three days earlier.
