Two suspicious passengers who used stolen passports to board the missing Malaysian Airlines plane carrying 239 people “were not Asian-looking men,” a senior Malaysian aviation official said on Monday.
Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, director general of Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation, rejected Home Minister Zahid Hamidi’s claim that the two suspicious passengers had “Asian facial features.”
“We have looked and re-looked at the footage of the video and the photographs; it is confirmed now that they are not Asian-looking men,” Rahman said.
Malaysia police Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar said investigators have already identified one of the two suspicious passengers.
Beijing on Monday blamed Kuala Lumpur for a lack of information about a vanished Malaysia Airlines flight, as tearful relatives of the 153 Chinese passengers aboard voiced frustration with all sides of the response effort.
