Terrorist bomb attack on airliner
Somali national with links to AQ has bypassed security to detonate a bomb on a passenger airliner. Airport workers are seen on CCTV carrying a laptop before handing it off to the bomber after he had cleared security Fortunately the plane was at a little over 10,000ft and therefore an explosive decompression did not occur. The only person killed was the bomber. Another attack from Al Shabaab, Somalias AQ affiliate. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/05/africa/somalia-airplane-expl
