from the bbc:
"Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said the two men had travelled from Qatar's capital Doha on their Iranian passports, and switched to stolen Italian and Austrian passports to board the Malaysia Airlines flight."
can someone explain to me why they needed to swap passports - i appreciate that being European (well, passport at least) and taking a flight to Europe (indirectly) is better, but surely the risk of flying on a stolen passport is way higher than the risk of having a temporary visa denied once you land - especially if they were looking to immigrate to the EU nations - they'd either be going legally (unlikely) or claiming asylum or something in that ilk - either way, i just don't get the need to fly on stolen passports
for the record, i'm not saying they're doing anything related to the plane, and i'm not sure how it works having an iranian passport, i've got an EU and a Cdn passport, and i appreciate having those two passports!
