something like a Payne Stewart/Bo Rein deal is also possible - we have nothing to refute it.

CNN PRODUCER NOTE Mohammad Mallaeibeasir told CNN that he took this photo with Pouri Nourmohammadi, 18, and Delavar Seyed Mohammad Reza, 29, in Kuala Lumpur on Friday before he drove them to the airport to catch Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. He and his roommate are the other men in the photo. CNN has blurred their faces to protect their identities.

Nourmohammadi and Reza entered Malaysia using valid Iranian passports, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said at a news conference. But they used stolen Austrian and Italian passports to board the now-missing Malaysian plane, he said. Officials said it's unlikely that they were part of a terrorist group.

Mallaei, a student in Kuala Lumpur, said he went to high school with Nourmohammadi, who told him he was headed to Germany, where his mother lived. The iReporter said it was the first time he met Reza. Mallaei and his roommate had dinner with the two passengers Friday before dropping them at the airport.

Mallaei said the passengers printed out the email with their tickets before having dinner. He noticed that the ticket wasn’t in Nourmohammadi’s name, and his friend told him he had another passport. He says he dropped them off at the airport and called a few minutes later to make sure they checked in okay. He wasn’t able to reach Nourmohammadi, but Reza answered the phone and thanked him for dinner and the ride.

Damn. 26 pages since I left for work this morning. I figured that meant the plane had been found. . .

Where can we see the path of the flight up to the point where ATC lost radar contact? Drawing a line from that point to the Island the Malaysian AF guy said they had reports of sightings could point to where it may have been going.

National Security Bureau chief Tsai De-sheng told a legislative committee that the agency had passed on a warning of planned attacks on Beijing airport and the city's subway system to mainland authorities after receiving it on March 4.

Tsai did not specify how the warning, which came three days after a knife attack at Kunming railway station left 29 civilians dead, had been relayed to the bureau.

However, security chiefs were believed to have received the alert from Taiwan-based China Airlines, following a phone call to the airline earlier in the day from a man who said he wanted to warn of possible terrorist activity.

Claiming to work for an anti-terrorism organisation in France, the caller spoke in French at first but switched to Putonghua with a Cantonese accent when the airline's switchboard operator could not understand him.
