Drug Smugglers, illegals trying to get asylum..but the fact that you have a man named Mr. Ali in Iran, paying cash the night before a flight for two men with stolen passports raises the biggest red flag ever. This smells like a dry run, some say “Well how come no one has claimed responsibility yet” well why would they, if they have figured out the trick to get on board a plane and destroy it why would they tell. Also, the five people who booked their flights but never got on board, what do they have to do with all this
Five people not showing for that flight is a small number.
I'd say it's either a very wet run or no run at all.
The travel agent said she'd been booking flights for this Mr Ali several times a month for the last three years. Also, that she initially had booked the two guys in question on Qatar Airways, but that that booking had expired before Mr Ali paid. When she went to rebook, it turned out Malaysian Airlines via Beijing was cheaper, so she took that one, the supposed objective being to get the guys to Europe the cheapest way. One would think terrorists would be more particular about what airlines they fly on.
It will be real interesting to Mr Ali's story, whether he knew the guys were using stolen passports, etc.

Supposedly, their luggage was pulled when they didn't show before the flight departed.
