Somalia plane blast: no evidence of criminal act, say authorities

Officials at Somalia’s civil aviation authority say they have found no evidence so far of a criminal act in an explosion on a plane that took off from Mogadishu’s airport and returned for an emergency landing.
Investigators moved the plane from the runway to a private hangar. Foreign technical experts were involved in the inquiry, said Ali Mohamoud, an aviation official at the Mogadishu airport.
Two passengers on board the flight that was headed to Djibouti in the Horn ofAfrica said they heard a loud bang, suggesting an explosion, that left a hole in the passenger cabin. The pilot said he thought the blast was caused by a bomb.
