one of them, the one en route to frankfurt, was going to meet his mother there. indeed they say it was his mother who raised the alarm when he didn't get off that flight. it seems he was trying to illegally emigrate to germany, at least. coming initially, as you said, from iran, using his own passport, along with the other young iranian, getting to kuala lumpur a week before flight mh-370. what we are hearing, though, from interpol, from the secretary general, ron noble, is specific to these two men. but as far as they were concerned, where there was so much focus on the question of whether or not they were on board with stolen passports to commit terrorism, he seems pretty clear on that. this is what he said. >> the more information we get, the more we're inclined to conclude that it was not a terrorist incident. and if you read what the head of police from malaysia said recently about the 19-year-old whose photograph is here, wanting to travel to frankfurt, germany, in order to be with his mother as part of a human smuggling issue and not a terrorist issue. >>

his mother was waiting for him in frankfurt, germany. it doesn't look like he was a terror suspect at all. it was more likely that he was trying to migrate to germany. the authorities have been helping the malaysians with their inquiries. so in my mind, the focus now turns to the second individual. they did release a photograph of him and they haven't named him, but he was the one who was using a stolen italian passport to board mh-370. let me stress that i don't think terror can be fully ruled out as a linkage here to mh-370. as you heard the malaysian police chief say earlier, there are four areas of inquiry that they are looking at. hijacking, sabotage, psychological problems and personal problems with the crew. this is what the police chief had to say regarding the iranian suspect. >> we have been checking his background. we have also checked in with other -- on his profile. and we believe that he is not likely to be a member of any terrorist group. >> ross, there were some absolutely extraordinary themes here about just over an hour
