0 Comments

One of the two men using a stolen passport to board the plane has been identified as a 19-year old Iranian student trying to migrate to Germany. He had no links to terrorism, Malaysian police say. Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar says:

We believe he is not likely to be a member of any terrorist group.

Thai police officials state that neither of the two men, who bought their tickets in Thailand, were involved in terrorism. According to a Thai police official,
