Authorities in Somalia have
released video footage from inside Mogadishu’s airport that they say
shows a laptop packed with
explosives being handed to a passenger before
the mid-air explosion that forced a Daallo Airlines flight to make an
emergency landing last week.
In
the video, reportedly taken by surveillance cameras after security
checks, two men can be seen walking together when one of the men hands a
laptop case to a third man -- the suspected plane bomber, according to
The Associated Press.
The two men and several others have been arrested, a senior Somali spokesman told the Associated Press.
The
suspected bomber was sucked out of the airplane after the mid-air
explosion left a relatively small hole in the plane, authorities said.
It
is still unclear exactly who is responsible for planning the explosion,
but authorities are looking into whether the al Qaeda-linked terrorist
group al Shabab, based in Somalia, may be behind it, and they're not ready to rule out ISIS, sources said.
