More from the article:

The hole in the plane's fuselage reached from the ceiling to the floor, according to photos of the damage. The aircraft was carrying 74 passengers and crew, authorities said. A Somali aviation official said that two passengers had been slightly injured in the incident, according to the Associated Press....

"The thing that's most interesting to me is that if you look at the outside of the airplane, some force from within the airplane pushed the sides of the aircraft open. You can see how it's peeled back and you can actually see the streaking from soot down the back side, which would suggest quite definitively that this was a bomb of some kind, probably something about a hand~grenade size that would have made this hole in the side of the airplane," said ABC News aviation consultant ret. Col. Steve Ganyard.

Don't worry. All the passengers already seated were not harmed in the blast.

Did someone promise 72 virgins or eternal peace via subterfuge?

It’s a muddy river ...

“A Somali aviation official...”

Those words just don’t seem to fit together.

“...the national airline of Somalia...”

That’s a scary thought even without explosions.
