BBC is reporting that the holders of two stolen passports bought their tickets together.
“The BBC reported that the men using their passports had purchased tickets together and were flying on to Europe from Beijing, meaning they did not have to apply for a Chinese visa and undergo further checks.
An employee at a travel agency in Pattaya, in Thailand, told Reuters the two had purchased the tickets there.”
Well, that pretty much sums it up. What are the odds that two people with stolen passports would be purchasing tickets together and NOT be up to no good.
