Turkish Airlines was targeted terrorist

- Somali suicide bomber who last Tuesday detonated a bomb in a plane airline Daallo Airlines had initially booked a flight with Turkish Airlines.

However, that flight was canceled and passengers were transferred to Daallo. That might be the CEO of Daallo Airlines know. 'Turkish Airlines asked us to take over their passengers,' he says. 'The reason for the cancellation was the bad weather. '

The Somali government Saturday already confirmed that the explosion on board the aircraft or was indeed caused by a bomb. The explosive was detonated at about three kilometers altitude and hit a hole in the hull. Two passengers were injured. The suicide bomber was sucked out and was equally later found dead near the Somali capital Mogadishu.

It is still unclear whether the man belonged to a particular group. Somalia has been raging for years of struggle between the government and the Islamic terrorist movement al-Shabaab. This organization holds regular attacks, but so far never been on passenger aircraft.
