Interpol says second passenger with stolen passport also an Iranian

International law enforcement agency Interpol has identified the second person who boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 using a stolen passport, as 29-year-old Iranian, Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza.

This confirms an earlier report that two Iranians had used stolen passports to board MH370.

Earlier today, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar named the first man as 19-year-old Pouri Nourmohammadi.

Speaking at a press conference in France today, Interpol secretary-general Ronald Noble said: "The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident".

Two Iranian passport holders, who started their trip in Doha, had swapped their passports in Kuala Lumpur and used stolen Italian and Austrian passports to board the airliner, Noble told reporters at Interpol's headquarters in Lyon, France.

"We know that once these individuals arrived in Kuala Lumpur on the 28th of February they boarded flight 370 using different identities, a stolen Austrian and a stolen Italian passport," he said.

Neither of the Iranian passports were reported stolen or lost.

Fears of terrorism were stoked by revelation that two men had boarded the flight using stolen European passports. But police said people-smuggling was emerging as the likeliest explanation for the identity fraud.

Khalid told reporters in Kuala Lumpur earlier that checks revealed Pouri was not likely to be a member of any terror group.

Malaysian authorities believe he was trying to migrate to Germany.

MH370 mysteriously disappeared after it departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing shortly after midnight on March 8, carrying 239 people including 12 crew members. – March 11, 2014.
