One passenger is missing after a blast on a commercial airliner that ripped a hole in its fuselage shortly after take-off from Somalia's capital, the airline said today.
"All passengers except one disembarked safely after aircraft landed at the airport," Daallo Airlines, Djibouti's national carrier, said in a statement. "Investigations are underway to ascertain the cause of one missing passenger."
Aviation experts and the pilot who landed the plane safely in Mogadishu after the explosion on Tuesday have said they fear the blast was a bomb. There has been no official confirmation of the cause of the explosion.
