Revelations that at least two people used stolen passports to board a
missing passenger jet raise serious "red flags" about security at
Malaysia's main international airport, analysts and Interpol have
warned.
However, they cautioned against a rush to judgement, citing ongoing investigations and widespread disregard of international databases on stolen passports.
Flight MH370 disappeared over the waters between Malaysia and southern Vietnam early Saturday en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. No traces of the plane have been confirmed found.
Malaysia has said it is looking at a possible terror motive in the plane's disappearance after at least two people used stolen passports to pass security at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
"It's rather surprising but it obviously raises a red flag," said Chris de Lavigne, an aviation and defence analyst for consultancy Frost and Sullivan.
"We can't look into this too much until further information is available, but it's definitely a red flag," he told AFP.
