A jet in Mogadishu, Somalia was forced to make an emergency landing after an explosion blew a massive hole in the fuselage of the plane.
Sky News reports that an aviation expert has determined the explosion to be consistent with that of a planted bomb.
‘John Goglia, a former member of the US National Transportation Safety Board and an aviation security expert, said: “We don’t know a lot, but certainly it looks like a device.”‘
74 passengers and crew were safely evacuated but there have been unconfirmed reports that a male passenger fell from the plane following the explosion, as a body was found in the nearby town of Balad.
A passenger told the Associated Press:
“I don’t know if it was a bomb or an electric shock, but we heard a bang inside the plane,”
