Somalia plane attack: Al-Shabab shoulders responsibility
The BBC reported that Al-Shabab owned the deed through an e-mail and said that it was a revenge for Western intelligence operations in the country.
The plane which had taken off from the capital had to make an emergency landing as a suicide bomber aboard the plane blew himself up and drilled a large hole.
Though the blast took place, the group admitted that it had failed in its operations to bring the plane down.
