KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - MARCH 11: This composite of images #477770287 & #477770285 shows cctv imagery released by police of an Iranian suspect, Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, who was travelling on Flight MH370 with a stolen Austrian passport, (L) and an unindentified suspect who was travelling on Flight MH370 with a stolen Italian passport (R), on March 11, 2014 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Officials have expanded the search area for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to include more of the Gulf of Thailand between Malayisa and Vietnam and land along the Malay Pensinusula. The flight carrying 239 passengers from Kuala Lumpur to Thailand was reported missing on the morning of March 8 after the crew failed to check in as scheduled. Relatives of the missing passengers have been advised to prepare for the worst as authorities focus on two passengers on board travelling with stolen passports. (Photo by How Foo Yeen/Getty Images)

Pouri Nourmohammadi, de 19 años, y Delavar Seyedmohammaderza, de 29, son los dos pasajeros iraníes identificados por la Interpol, quienes abordaron con pasaportes robados el avión de Malasia.

Las cámaras de seguridad captaron el momento en que los hombres subieron, al mismo tiempo, al avión de Malaysia Airlines, misteriosamente perdido desde el pasado viernes.

Los iraníes habrían llegado a Malasia con sus documentos originales y allí hicieron uso de los pasaportes robados, que correspondían a un ciudadano austriaco y a otro italiano.

Hasta hace horas, las tesis más fuerte en la investigación era la de conexión con un posible ataque terrorista, sin embargo el secretario general de la Interpol, Ronald Noble, durante una conferencia de prensa este martes en Lyon, Francia, aseguró que "en la medida que recopilan más información, más inclinados están a pensar que no se trata de un incidente terrorista".

Nourmohammadi trataba de llegar a Alemania y se cree que no tenía nexos con grupos terroristas, informó la policía de Malasia a través de la agencia AP.

Varios países se han unido a la investigación y búsqueda del avión: Estados Unidos, Filipinas, Malasia, Indonesia, Singapur, Tailandia, Vietnam, Australia y Nueva Zelanda.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malasia (AP) —

No se han encontrado restos del aeroplano. El martes las sorprendidas autoridades aumentaron el espacio de búsqueda al extremo opuesto de Malasia donde el avión desapareció hace tres años con 239 personas a bordo.

La aerolínea sostiene que los pilotos no dieron señales de alerta, lo que sugiere que un incidente catastrófico ocurrió de repente. La especulación atribuye el hecho a un error humano, una falla mecánica, secuestro y terrorismo.

La noticia de que dos pasajeros abordaron usando pasaportes robados inmediatamente desató especulaciones de juego sucio. Sin embargo, el jefe de la policía Khalid Tan Sri informó el martes los investigadores llegaron a la conclusión de que Pouria Nourmohammadi Mehrdad, de 19 años, trataba de llegar a Alemania en busca de asilo.

Dijo que la madre del joven lo esperaba en Fráncfort y ha estado en contacto con la policía. Señalo que ella habló con autoridades de Malasia para hacerles saber su preocupación porque su hijo no se ha comunicado con ella.

Las autoridades han sido incapaces de encontrar el avión de Malaysia Airlines tres días después de que desapareció de las pantallas de los radares y el descubrimiento de que dos pasajeros abordaron el aparato con pasaportes robados ha provocado dudas acerca de sus motivos para estar en ese vuelo.

Rescatistas de varios países participan en la búsqueda del avión que llevaba 239 personas a bordo.
