The other day I saw a list of crew and passengers by nationality. Have the investigators identified the alleged nationalities of the two passengers with the fake passports? I noticed there were two Iranians on board, and the plane was headed West. Perhaps this is part of some Iranian plot against Israel, Iraq, or Europe.
Malaysia Airlines Passengers With Stolen Passports Identified
Investigators have identified the two passengers who purportedly boarded the plane using stolen passports. Authorities investigating the flight revealed Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, a 19-year-old Iranian who was headed to Germany to be with his mother, as one of the individuals that used a stolen passport to board the Beijing-bound aircraft, USA Today reported. According to Malaysian Chief Inspector General Khalis Abu Bakar, Mehrdad’s mother was aware of her son’s travels and use of a stolen passport.
The other individual who used a stolen passport to board the jet has been identified as Iranian national Delavar Seyed Mohammad Reza, age 29.
Authorities are still investigating Mohammad Reza’s background but a source has corroborated the notion that the two intended to immigrate to Europe. According to the BBC, a young Iranian in Kuala Lumpur claims his school friend and another Iranian man stayed with him before boarding the Malaysia Airlines flight. He said they planned on settling in Europe.
