• EU leading the MH370 search because of stolen European Passports

MH370 The EU can find the plane – new UK submarines committed to the cause prove that it is willing and able BBC 14, BBC, 4/1/14, the BBC is a very large news source in the UK and if you don’t know that please don’t read this card, “MH370: UK submarine joins search for missing plane,” http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-26845118, NN British submarine HMS Tireless has joined the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The Ministry of Defence said the Trafalgar class submarine had arrived in the southern Indian Ocean and would help search for the plane's black box recorder. It will soon be joined by Royal Navy coastal survey ship HMS Echo. The aircraft disappeared with 239 people on board on 8 March while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Earlier on Tuesday, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston - the man co-ordinating the search from Australia - said the hunt was the "most challenging" ever seen and could take weeks. Several floating objects have been found in recent days, but none is believed to belong to the missing plane. Search for debris Nuclear-powered submarine HMS Tireless was launched on 17 March 1984 and holds a crew of 130, plus 18 officers. HMS Echo HMS Echo will help search for debris from the plane on the water surface An MoD source told the BBC the vessel had "advanced underwater search capabilities, but the task in hand remains a tall order and the search area immense". "Her deployment is being co-ordinated closely with our Australian and US colleagues." The submarine will listen for ultrasonic "pings" from the plane's black box, which continue to be broadcast for about 30 days after take-off. The MoD source said the submarine was ordered to move from an operational tasking to the search area about a week ago and arrived on Monday. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond informed his Malaysian counterpart of the additional British contribution during a phone call on Tuesday evening.

Tireless became stranded in Gibraltar in May of the same year due to leaking pipe work in 2003, the vessel collided with an object at sea prompting an MoD inquiry in 2007, two mechanics died on board when a self-contained oxygen generator exploded while the vessel was at the North Pole in 2012, HMS Tireless returned to Plymouth after a leak in its nuclear reactor HMS Echo is expected to begin its work on Wednesday, and the MoD said it would "play an important role in the search for debris on the sea's surface and her advanced environmental assessment capability will help to optimise search operations". Four RAF personnel on secondment to the Royal Australian Air Force and Royal New Zealand Air Force are also actively involved in the search. Meanwhile the personal jet of Oscar-winning film director Peter Jackson has been reported by Radio New Zealand to have joined the search for the missing Malaysian airliner. Radio New Zealand said that Sir Peter, the director of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies, personally approved the use of his Gulfstream G650 in the search. On Monday, Malaysian acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the search area was 254,000 sq km (98,000 sq miles), according to the Australian authorities. Malaysian authorities have released the full transcript of communications between flight MH370 and Kuala Lumpur's air traffic control. They said there was no indication of anything abnormal in the transcript, although the last words received by ground controllers are different from those previously stated. Theories They were "good night Malaysian three seven zero", but authorities had previously said that they were "all right, good night". It is not clear why the account has changed. Officials say that based on satellite data they have concluded that flight MH370 crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, but many relatives of those on board have demanded proof and expressed anger at what they perceive as a lack of information. Various theories about what went wrong have been suggested - including the captain hijacking his own plane. The speculation was fuelled by reports that files had been deleted on the pilot's home flight simulator EU leading the MH370 search because of stolen European Passports Buncombe 14, Andrew Buncombe, 3/1/14, Buncombe is a staff writer for Independent.co.uk, “Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: Details emerge of two young Iranians using stolen passports in search for a better life,” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/missing-malaysia-airlines-plane-details-emerge-of-two-young-iranians-using-stolen-passports-in-search-for-a-better-life-9184581.html, NN They were going in search of a better life. Two young Iranian men, one wearing a short-sleeved blue T shirt, the other dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt, have been identified as the mystery travellers who boarded Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 using stolen passports. The authorities say there is no evidence they were linked to any terror groups; rather they were apparently travelling to Europe to try and secure work. As the search for the missing aircraft completed its fourth day with still no trace of the missing aircraft, officials revealed the identities of the two passengers as 29-year-old Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza and Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, who was aged either 18 or 19. At a press conference in Lyons, France, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said investigators were increasingly of the belief that the disappearance of the Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers and crew was not linked to a terrorist incident. “The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident,” said Mr Noble. “By doing this, eventually, with more and more evidence, we’ll able to exclude that they were involved in conduct that might have involved the plane to disappear and focus on eliminating the human trafficking ring that allowed them to travel.” As officials in Malaysia announced they were again extending the area they were scouring and the country’s military suggested the missing plane may have actually veered west across the Strait of Malacca, a partial picture emerged of the journey being undertaken by the two men who until now have been the focus of much of the work being conducted by Malaysian and foreign intelligence investigators. It appears the two men boarded a flight in Doha, Qatar, using their Iranian passports and flew to Kuala Lumpur. There, they were able to pick up two European passports, one belonging to Austrian Christian Kozel and the other to Luigi Maraldi of Italy. The passports had been stolen in Thailand in 2012 and 2013 respectively and had been entered into Interpol’s database. “We know that once these individuals arrived in Kuala Lumpur on the 28th of February they boarded flight 370 using different identities, a stolen Austrian and a stolen Italian passport,” said Mr Noble.
