Explosives residue found on Somalia jet

The head of the airline whose jetliner was damaged by an explosion shortly after takeoff from Somalia says investigators have found what appears to be residue from explosives on the plane.

Daallo Airlines chief executive Mohammed Ibrahim Yassin from the carrier’s corporate office in Dubai said that it is too soon to say a bomb was to blame.

He said the airline has temporarily suspended its operations in the Somali capital following Tuesday’s incident but hopes to restart them soon.
