One of the two men who boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 with a stolen passport was identified as a 19-year-old Iranian with no known terrorist connections, authorities said at a press conference today.

Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said the man, named Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, was likely trying to enter Germany to seek asylum. His mother contacted authorities after he didn't arrive in Frankfurt.

The other man who boarded the flight with a stolen passport has not been identified.

The announcement was the first certain piece of news in what has become a baffling mystery over the fate of the missing jetliner. Earlier Tuesday, authorities expanded their search for the Boeing 777 on the opposite side of the country’s coast from where it disappeared days ago with 239 people on board.

I would suspect that anyone named Mohammad could be a terrorist.

“A terrorist might have packed sufficient plastic explosives, then set these off in the area just rear of the cockpit, with the result being both loss of systems and possibly pilots. Explosives in the cargo compartment or in checked baggage also cannot be ruled out. As of the time of writing, no group appears to have claimed responsibility.”

Experts say impossible for MH370 to escape detection on all radars UNLESS...

- It is “impossible” for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to have escaped all radar detection in the area where it was travelling, unless it entered remote territories, an aviation analyst has said, as the mysterious disappearance of the large aircraft continues to baffle experts around the world.

or . . .may I suggest, there is a complicit state (caliphate) actor working to obtain leverage with hostages.

Then again maybe he wasn’t trying to get to Germany. Maybe he was trying to get to heaven to get those 72 so called virgins, but who are really ex-muzzie male prostitutes.

And then again perhaps he was identified by the Iranian goonocracy and intercepted by a Quds Brigade torpedo.

If a foreign-flag airliner were hijacked and flown to Iran by Quds uglies with dissident Iranian political refugees on board, who were then summarily arrested in Bandar Abbas or wherever on arrival and given a show trial, that would be a real propaganda coup (or "information operation" as those people like to say) for the Quds mouth-breathers.
