Investigator: two men using stolen passports on missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 looked like soccer star Mario Balotelli

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished into thin air without a trace shortly after leaving Kuala Lumpur early Saturday. At least 10 countries have joined in the air and sea search for the missing plane. Investigators are focusing on the identities of two passengers who were carrying stolen passports. The two men were initially described as Asians.
On Sunday, Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi criticized border agents for letting the two passengers pass through. “I am still perturbed. Can’t these immigration officials think? Italian and Austrian but with Asian faces,” he said on Sunday.
But Malaysia’s civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul now says the men were not Asian.
“It is confirmed now that they are not Asian looking men,” Abdul said. When asked by a reporter to describe how they looked, Abdul said “Do you know a footballer by the name of [Mario Balotelli],” describing the black Italian soccer star who plays for AC Milan.
“I can confirm that he is not a Malaysian, but cannot divulge which country he is from yet,” Abdul said to reporters.
The search for the missing airliner has now widened to include Vietnam and reports of debris spotted south of Hong Kong. It will be Tuesday before any information is known. Officials are not ruling out the possibility of a hijacking.

Meet Twin sisters that spent £130,000 on plastic surgery to look more similar (and they even share the same BOYFRIEND)

A pair of twins born just one minute apart share everything in their life - a job, a car, a Facebook account and even their boyfriend.
But even this bizarre level of closeness was not enough for Australians Anna and Lucy DeCinque, 28, who have spent a fortune on cosmetic surgery to eras any tiny differences between them that may remain.
They have had identical procedures including lip fillers, breast implants and fake eyebrows and eyelashed - at a cost of an astonishing $240,800 (Australian dollars), or £130,000.

Lucy, left, and Anna, right, have spent thousands on relentlessly ensuring they stay exactly the same
The women, from Perth, Western Australia, spend every waking moment together - and every sleeping moment too, as they share a bed.
Anna and Lucy, who live at home with their mother, also share a boyfriend, which they believe is a perfect situation for a relationship. Though the two have had separate love interests before, they have always been brothers, or at least best friends.
Their current boyfriend is electircal mechanic Ben Byrne, also from Perth, according to news site PerthNow.
Anna said: 'We’re dating one boy at the moment. There are three people in our relationship. We’re sharing.'
Lucy added: 'It’s not really weird to us. We have one boyfriend and all three of us share the same bed. For guys, in their hearts and dreams, they want two girlfriends.
'We have the same taste in everything, so obviously we’re going to like the same boy too. We’re all together when we have sex, and if we like the same guy, so be it. Every date had to be a double date. It’s always double or nothing.'
From an early age Anna and Lucy were inseparable. The sisters went to the same nursery, primary and secondary schools, before enrolling on a beauty course at college together.
The sisters revealed that they were so close even their parents have struggled to tell them apart, especially their father Luigi, who died in 2010.

Anna, left, and Lucy, right, pictured aged five, say their mother has always been able to tell them apart but their father can't. Only a small mole on Lucy's cheek and a scar on Anna's forehead tells them apart
Lucy, right, and Anna, left
Lucy said: 'Our mum has always been able to tell us apart. But, our dad, not so much. He would say, "Which one are you?"'
Only a small mole on Lucy’s cheek and a scar on Anna’s forehead separate the two. But, those slight differences go unseen by most – including ex-boyfriends.
Lucy says: 'We’ve had fun, especially when we were younger. We would swap boyfriends, if we were bored.
'Like, even on the telephone, if I didn’t want to talk to my boyfriend, Anna would take the phone and pretend to be me. We would play games like that, and the other person never realised.
'We’ve settled down a bit now.'
The childhood accident – a bump in the bathroom - that caused Anna’s scar is one of the few things the sisters didn’t do together.

Since then, everything Anna and Lucy have done has been in sync. From living together, to the job they share - working with the elderly - the twins are never more than a few metres away from each other at all times.
'We never get tired of each other, even though we’re always together,' said Lucy.
'Of course, we argue. When you’re with someone 24/7 you’re going to have arguments and get on each other's nerves. We always make up, though.'
Anna and Lucy’s unique bond has only grown as they got older. Aged 12, the sisters opted for different hair styles, with Anna going for a longer cut, but the streak of individuality was short-lived.
When their father Luigi was diagnosed with cancer and remained housebound, the girls became even closer. They quit their beauty course and stayed at home to look after their dad, until his death four years ago.

Snap! Although the twins purchase every outfit in duplicate, they say they would never wear the same thing twice on a night out
That same year, when the girls turned 24, they both decided to have breast enlargements after, they say, being inspired by Kim Kardashian's. The two from a BB cup size to DD.
They now undertake an extensive joint beauty regime to maintain their appearances. Once a week, Anna and Lucy take advantage of infrared saunas, microdermabrasion and skin peels to maintain the mirror image. They also follow the same exercise routine and keep an identical diet.
Anna said: 'We like looking after ourselves, what girl doesn't?'
The sisters, who don't drink or smoke, take great pride in their appearances, and wear a new outfit every Saturday night.
Their wardrobe is full of body-hugging size 8 mini-dresses and hefty heels.
Lucy said: 'We never wear the same outfit twice when we go out. Everything has to be new. When we go clothes shopping, Anna will already know that I like a certain top.'
'We always know what the other is thinking,' Anna added. 'We stopped buying gifts for each other, because we ended up buying each other same thing.
After caring for their dad while he was ill, Lucy and Anna applied for a job in aged care, serving meals to the elderly. Their joint application was successful and they job share the position and take home one salary.
Lucky guy: Ben Byrne, an electrician, is Anna and Lucy's current boyfriend

Malaysian Airlines jet carrying 239 people has gone missing on air

A major search has been launched for a Malaysian Airlines jet with 239 people on board after it lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Airline officials admitted they were gravely concerned for the safety of the aircraft, which was carrying four Americans and seven Australians, as well as passengers from France and China.
Crying relatives of Chinese passengers on board the plane wept at Beijing airport as it became clear the jet had probably crashed.

Mystery: The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 lost contact with Air Traffic Control over the Pacific with 227 passengers on board
An unconfirmed report on a flight tracking website said the aircraft had plunged 650ft and changed course shortly before all contact was lost.
The route would have taken flight MH370, a B777-200 aircraft, across the Malaysian mainland in a north-easterly direction and then across the Gulf of Thailand.
Those on board included two infants and 12 crew members, Malaysian Airlines said in a statement, adding it was working with all authorities in the region and search and rescue teams had been mobilized.
As well as the American and Australian passengers, the aircraft was carrying 153 Chinese, 38 Malaysians, 12 Indonesians and 32 people from France.
The aircraft had been due to land in Beijing at 6.30am local time but at 7.54am the airline issued a statement saying it had not landed and was officially missing.
Tragic: Distressed relatives wait for news of the Malaysia Airlines plane which was due to land in Beijing

Graphic Photo: Malaysian Police Allegedly Kill Nigerian Student in Malaysia


And according to them, a young Nigerian, Adelabu Tunde from Ise Ekiti, Ekiti State was recently killed in Malaysia, so they are calling on International Human Right organizations for proper justice.
How Adelabu was killed - Police was raiding another apartment, Tunde and his friends came back from school...then the police car followed them.....Tunde ran and got shot in the head by the police man. Please share the truth. He was not fighting, he was shot by police that came for extra pocket money! And the police left the scene as soon as he was shot. Which police that was doing raid, then shoot somebody and ran off? We don't know that now” — Witness
 The angry students are also calling for the removal of the Nigerian ambassador to Malaysia, cos according
to them, he has an uncaring attitude towards Nigerians as an ambassador. They also made huge accusations against the Nigerian Embassy in Malaysia in the mail.
The Students' Alleged reasons why Malaysian police harass Nigerians:
1) AMBASSADOR - The Nigeria Ambassador in Malaysia HIS EXCELLENCY, AMBASSADOR BELLO SHEHU RINGIM, NIGERIA is  the most corrupt Nigerian in diaspora. ranging from selling diplomatic passports, conniving with malaysian police to arrest Nigerians and deport them and also setting them up with drugs case so as to make money in terms of releasing or granting them bail. Being money concious he has said it before that Nigerians here dont pay homeage to him. (We are students your excellency and you dont enxpect us to spend $1 on you SIR, because you are appointed by the Nigeria government not by our parents.)
2) Ambassador: The ambassador and so-called workers in the Nigeria embassy demands more than the actual amount for new passport or replacements of passports whereby a student passport is misplaced or expired. The embassy demands more than one thousand dollars for new passport and takes days.
3) Ambassador: Nobody, i repeat nobody have ever questioned the Malaysian Government why they harass students knowing fully well that these students when they summit their passport  for visa renewal, visa-holding letters are normally given to them by the Malaysian immigration yet their police and immigration during raiding still arrest and deport legal students having these letters. Of all these activities, the Ambassador is fully aware and his not showing concern about its fellow Nigerians. Although
4) The ambassador believes that everybody in Malaysia is not a student. Meanwhile the Malaysia Airport(KLIA) is one of the best airport in the world combating drugs and illegal immigrants. 80 percent of Nigerians in Malaysia apart from the once the AMBASSADOR sold diplomatic passport to are students. Be it a small scale school or International Schools in Malaysia Your excellency sir all fingers are not equal.
5) Imagine the security at the gate of the Nigerian Embassy (An Indian and  Bangladesh)  molesting Nigerians in front of the Embassy just because they want to go into their own Embassy to get their passport renewed yet the Ambassador will show no concern and sometime drive by. (Ambassador)
6) The ambassador told the Malaysian Government not to renew visas for Nigerians or hold it for a long period of time with this we get arrested, detained to pay a ransom before finally being deported.
  Just mentioned but a few of the fraudulent activities of the Nigeria High Commission in Malaysia, NEXT will be an Open letter to Mr President (GEJ) if nothing is done within the next 72hrs not only an open letter but just like a tip of the 2011 riot that Niger Delta Amnesty student we will storm the Nigeria Embassy and the world will hear your corruption Your Excellency.
