A man was killed in an explosion on an Airbus A321 that made a hole in the fuselage and forced the plane to return to the Somali capital of Mogadishu to make an emergency landing, Reuters cited officials as saying on Wednesday. Somalia's civil aviation director, Abdiwahid Omar, told the state radio website that a person was missing after the Daallo Airlines plane landed on Tuesday and the body had been found. "The investigation goes on," Omar said, without mentioning any explosion or what had forced the plane to return except to say there was a "sudden defect" reported by the captain.
