KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia has identified one of two men who boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines flight with stolen passports, the country’s police chief said Monday.
Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said the man is a non-Malaysian. Authorities were able to identify him using airport video surveillance.
“That’s all we can reveal,” he told AFP. “We are still ascertaining whether they (the two suspects using stolen passports) came in legally or illegally.”
