According to reports in the Wall Street Journal – who got this info from a diplomatic, btw – the man who was sucked out of a Somali plane after an explosion ripped through the fuselage this week may have been the world’s most ineffective suicide bomber.
Investigators are theorising that the man bypassed Mogadishu security by pretending to be in a wheelchair, boarded the plane, moved to a regular seat after take-off, and detonated the bomb, thereby killing himself, slightly injuring two others, blowing a hole in the plane, and forcing it to make an emergency landing.
“All passengers except one disembarked safely after [the] aircraft landed at the airport,” Daallo Airlines, who operated the flight, wrote on Facebook yesterday. If true, then you… you really only have yourself to blame, mate.
At least the passengers on board the flight remained alarmingly chill throughout their ordeal:
