Kazem Ali is the Mr. Ali, an Iranian businessman who allegedly purchased the tickets for the two Iranian nationals on flight MH370 who used fake passports to get on. The the Daily Mail UK reports that Kazem Ali is the mystery man who purchased the tickets, but Mayalsia Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman declined to confirm. Other than the report about Ali purchasing the tickets, there is no other ties to a bigger plot implicating him.
As it emerged an Iranian businessman named by Thai officials as Kazem Ali was understood to have booked the tickets for the two passengers using the stolen passports, the men who boarded the plane were said to have not been of ‘Asian appearance’.
Malaysia’s police chief was quoted by local media as saying that one of the men had been identified.
Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman declined to confirm this, but said authorities were looking at the possibility the men were connected to a stolen passport syndicate.
Aside from being an iranian businessman, little else is known about Mr. Kazem Ali.
