The police have identified an Iranian teenager who used a passport
belonging to an Austrian, and boarded the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370
which went missing on Saturday.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said initial investigations
revealed that Pouria Nour Mohd Mehdad, 19, was enroute to Germany and had no
ties with any terrorist group.
"Meanwhile, another passenger who used an Italian passport is
still being investigated to determine his identity," he told reporters at
the Sama-Sama
Hotel here today.
He said the police were investigating the background of the 239
passengers and crew members of MH370.
Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Abdul Hadi Ho Abdullah is heading
the team of investigators.
Khalid said the police investigation would touch on four aspects,
namely hijacking, sabotage, the psychological state of the passengers and
personal problems involving the passengers.
On March 8, the Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200ER aircraft with 227
passengers and 12 crew members went off the radar at 1.30am, about an hour
after taking off from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
