THIS JUST IN: AP reports Malaysian official says investigators conclude that pilot or someone with flying experience hijacked jet

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- A Malaysian government official says investigators have concluded that one of the pilots or someone else with flying experience hijacked the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

The official, who is involved in the investigation, says no motive has been established, and it is not yet clear where the plane was taken. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

The official said that hijacking was no longer a theory. "It is conclusive."
