Man Ejected From Plane After Failed Suicide Bombing

Story out of Mogadishu, Somalia:

New investigations suggest a passenger in a wheelchair was responsible for the Daallo Airlines plane explosion in Somalia's capital earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing a Western diplomat.

Investigators believe the man used the wheelchair to evade security checks at Mogadishu's international airport.

The alleged bomber then detonated the bomb soon after takeoff, which blew a hole in the Airbus A321's fuselage but did not down it, the WSJ reported.

The newspaper said the force of the blast ejected the alleged bomber from the cabin. His body was recovered near the town of Balad, about 20 miles from Mogadishu. Cont.
