We study transport of non-interacting electrons through two quantum dot molecules embedded in an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. The system in equilibrium exhibits bound states in the continuum (BIC) and total suppression of transmission. It also shows a magnetic flux-dependent effective level attraction and lines of perfect transmission when the intramolecular coupling is weak. Out of equilibrium, the current displays two kind of negative differential conductance (NDC) regions, which have different origins. One is generated by the usual mechanism of the NDC arising in a double quantum dot system. The other is induced by the magnetic flux, and it occurs at small voltages and for a well definite range of the intramolecular couplings. We explain this effect in terms of the level attraction displayed by the system.
