Shocka: Malaysia Airlines fake passport holder was Iranian
Malaysia's police chief said on Tuesday that one of the two men holding false passports who boarded the Malaysian airliner that vanished last week was an Iranian national.
The identity of the other man was being investigated, Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar told a news conference.

According to Malasyian Minister of Defense Hishamuddin Hussein, photographs of both of the men traveling under false identities were been revealed to US officials in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A senior Malaysian police official stated that in the past, "We have stopped men with false or stolen passports and carrying explosives, who have tried to get past KLIA (airport) security and get on to a plane." He added, "There have been two or three incidents, but I will not divulge the details."
Interpol confirmed on Sunday that at least two passengers used stolen passports and said it was checking whether others on board had used false identity documents.You will recall that on Monday it was reported that an Iranian national who is not a suspect had purchased the tickets for the two false passport holders.
On it's 9:00 am newscast, Israel Radio reported that the two false passport holders were asylum seekers. Sure doesn't sound like it.
