Flight makes emergency landing in Somalia capital after fire

A passenger jet made an emergency landing in Somalia’s capital when a fire broke out shortly after take-off, with 2 people suffering minor injuries, an official said. The Daallo Airlines plane returned to Mogadishu’s airport Tuesday after a bang was heard on board and a fire erupted, Ali Ahmed Jama, Somalia’s minister of air transport and civil aviation, said. He said investigations are under way to discover the cause. The jet was bound for neighbouring Djibouti. Published photos show a large hole in the aircraft’s fuselage close to the right wing. The minister said there was damage to the plane’s wing and inside it. Daallo Airlines, based in Dubai, flies regularly between Somalia’s capital and cities including Djibouti and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. <br/>
