SUSPECTED BOMB BLAST ABOARD SOMALIAN PLANE, A BURNING MAN REPORTEDLY SUCKED TO HIS DEATH

There was a suspected bomb blast which created a hole through the fuselage of a Somalian DAALLO Airbus A321 five minutes after it took off from Mogadishu.
An unidentified elderly man is said to have been sucked out of the jet and his badly burned body fell to the earth about 15 miles away from the airport at the time of the blast according to eyewitnesses.

Though no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, investigators have reportedly found bomb residue at the site of the suspected bomb blast.

Two people were injured and the experienced pilot, Vladimir Vodopivec, 64, was able to turn back safely to Mogadishu airport.

Vodopivec said,
"I think it was a bomb, Luckily, the flight controls were not damaged so I could return and land at the airport. Something like this has never happened in my flight career. We lost pressure in the cabin. Thank God it ended well'.

The flight may have been a victim of a suspected terrorist attack.
