Somalia's al Shabab admit responsibility for suicide bomb on plane

Somalia's Islamic extremist rebels, al Shabab, say they carried out the bombing of a commercial passenger jet earlier this month that blew a hole in the fuselage, sucking out the suspected bomber and forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
In a statement released today, al Shabab said the explosion targeted Western and Turkish intelligence agents aboard the Daallo Airlines flight to Djibouti on February 2.
