"Stolen Passport" Passenger On Missing Malaysian Airlines Jet Identified

One of the two men who used stolen passports to board the missing Malaysia Airlines jet has been identified according to the nation’s inspector general of police. Authorities are not releasing details of his nationality but confirmed he is neither Malaysian nor from Xinjiang, China (the home of the Uighur separatists who have come under suspicion following Taiwanese authorities tip last week warning that terrorists were targeting Beijing’s international airport).

 

Via LA Times,

Malaysian authorities have identified one of the two men who used stolen passports to board the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, the nation’s inspector general of police told local media Monday, as international search teams continued to look -- so far unsuccessfully -- for wreckage from the jet.

"I can confirm that he is not a Malaysian, but cannot divulge which country he is from yet," Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told the Star, a major Malaysian newspaper. He added that the man is also not from Xinjiang, China -- a northwestern province of the mainland home to minority Uighurs. Uighur separatists have been blamed for a knifing rampage in southwestern China this month that left 29 dead.

Meanwhile, a Taiwanese official said national security officials received an anonymous tip last week warning that terrorists were targeting Beijing’s international airport.

...

According to the report by Taiwan’s Central News Agency, a man speaking Chinese claimed to have information of planned attacks directed against Beijing’s airport and subway system by the East Turkestan Independence Movement, an Islamic-inspired group seeking independence for the Uighurs. The caller identified himself as a member of a French-based anti-terror network and said he had called Taiwan’s national airline because he couldn’t reach anybody in Beijing.

...

As of Monday evening in Malaysia, investigators have found no confirmed wreckage of the airliner despite an intensive search by more than 40 ships and nearly three dozen aircraft off the southern coast of Vietnam.

Malaysia Airlines made damn sure that the passenger had a valid, paid-for ticket. You’d think they’d also check to see if he had a valid passport as well.

I’ll bet they are checking the Interpol stolen passport lists now!

I am starting to think this may not have been a terrorist attack.

1. The stolen passport thing is not as big a deal as people may think. Several analysts have said that for a flight this size in Asia it is common to have several passengers with fake or stolen passports.

2. No claim of responsibility by terrorist organization, which almost defeats the purpose of an attack.

3. More likely they would have blown up the plane over land to try to maximize damage and impact. Not over water.

My guess is they are Uighurs or people working with them.

Regardless of where Muslims come from, they are all the same sneaky, cowardly, fanatics.

Only 9% of place accidents happened when the plane is flying at this altitude.

It most likely IS terrorism, especially given all the facts we know.

In the meantime, it’s funny to watch the MSM doing more thing with this story than a monkey does with a peanut!!

They’re tap dancing like mad.

This is SOP for Islamic terror groups now. It keeps them out of trouble with their imams. They are supposed to offer their victims the chance to become Muslims before they kill them. It sounds stupid to us but that is how they think.
