Two men were noted to have boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with stolen passports. They have been identified as Iranians. Their names are Delavar Syed Mohammad Reza, 29 and Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 19. Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 19, was trying to enter Germany to seek asylum and his mother contacted authorities after he didn't arrive in Frankfurt. Authorities though are still downplaying any possible connection to terrorism and the missing jetliner. An image from Interpol showed the two men boarding a plane at the same time. Interpol secretary general Ronald K. Noble said Tuesday the two men traveled to Malaysia on their Iranian passports, then apparently switched to the stolen Austrian and Italian documents. Authorities have expanded their search for the missing Boeing 777 on the opposite side of the country’s coast from where it disappeared days ago with 239 people on board.
