The Austrian citizen was safe and sound, and his passport ef educational tours had been stolen two years ago, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss said.
Similarly, Italy s foreign ministry confirmed that no Italians were on the flight, even though an Italian was listed on the manifest. Malaysian officials said they were aware of reports that the Italian s passport was also stolen but had not confirmed it.
On Saturday, Italian police visited the home of the parents ef educational tours of Luigi Maraldi, ef educational tours the man whose name appeared on the manifest, to inform them about the missing ef educational tours flight, said a police official in Cesena, in northern Italy.

Maraldi s father, Walter, told police that he had just spoken to his son, who was fine and not on the missing flight, said the official, who is not authorized to speak to the media. Maraldi was vacationing in Thailand, his father said. The police ef educational tours official said that Maraldi had reported his passport stolen in Malaysia last August and had obtained a new one.
A law enforcement official Saturday told CNN that various U.S. government agencies were briefed about the passports. The names of the persons whose passports were stolen have been circulated and checked, the official said. There s nothing at this point to indicate foul play on their part.
The FBI is ready to send agents to Asia if requested by the Malaysian government, but no agents have been sent yet, U.S. officials familiar with the issue told CNN on Saturday night on condition of anonymity. Earlier Saturday, an official said FBI agents were heading to the area.
CNN law enforcement analyst Tom Fuentes, a former FBI assistant director, was told by sources at Interpol, which keeps a database of lost or stolen travel documents, that the stolen Italian passport was in the agency s database. The reportedly stolen Austrian passport was not. Malaysian authorities apparently did not check Interpol s database, sources told Fuentes.
Interpol s database has 39 million ef educational tours records of stolen travel documents at the present time, he said. One billion passengers a year board international flights where there s no inquiry made of that database. So it leaves an opening.
Referring to the stolen documents, Fuentes added, You wonder who was using it? What were their motives? Were they using it to check luggage in that matched the tickets, ef educational tours and maybe the luggage contained explosives? So, it s a great concern when people use false documents to board international aircraft.
Even in the United states, we have a tremendous problem with our documentation, our driver s licenses, said Mary Schiavo, former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Everything ef educational tours can be forged and faked here. We certainly have a problem with that as well. But that s why you have the various checklists to check against and had they been identified as stolen passports there was a way to flag them in advance. That s what is disturbing, as it apparently wasn t checked.
ef educational tours American citizens have to have visas and you can t get on board the plane without showing the visa, she explained. For a stolen passport, stolen two years ago these visas only last for a certain amount of time. So, did they (the authorities) not check? Did Beijing not clear or have to issue a visa? There are a lot of questions about these passports because the destination was Beijing.
No one is sure what happened to the plane. Air traffic controllers lost track of it after it left Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, on its way to Beijing on Friday. The plane was cruising during what experts consider to be the safest part of the journey when it vanished.
Greg Feith, a former investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, said there were multiple scenarios of what could have gone wrong, including structural problems with the wings or fuselage.
Of course, you also have to look at in that part of the world and around the world there is still a potential for a terrorist act or an intentional act that could have rendered ef educational tours the airplane incapacitated, he said.
He added: Whatever happened, happened very quickly. For them to have lost two-way radio communication with (air traffic control), two-way radio communication with the company, and to lose any kind of radar data with ground control facilities means that the airplane was compromised in a very quick manner and it may have been well beyond the control of the crew to keep the airplane under control and make any kind of emergency distress call or emergency landing.
