Bomb Caused A321 Emergency, Missing Passenger Suspected
Incident left hole in fuselage of Airbus narrowbody wet leased from Greece's Hermes Aviation by Somalia's Daallo Airlines.

Somali officials have confirmed that a bomb blew the hole in the fuselage of the Daallo Airlines Airbus A321 that made an emergency landing on February 2 at Mogadishu Airport. The nature of the damage to the airplane raised speculation last week that an explosive device detonated on board, and local media outlets reported that residents of a village some 20 miles north of Mogadishu found the charred remains of a body suspected of having fallen from the airplane. Authorities now believe the remains belong to the bomber.
