Terrorist for the day

Slate has an article by Ben Mathis-Lilley entitled Worst Terrorist Ever Blows Self Sideways out of Plane Without Killing Anyone Else:

Passengers on a Daallo Airlines flight leaving Mogadishu, Somalia were subjected to just about the most terrifying experience imaginable on Tuesday, as a bomb exploded in the plane's passenger cabin somewhere above twelve thousand feet. The bomb only created a relatively small hole in the plane's fuselage (photo), however, and the aircraft was able to return to Mogadishu and land safely. Somali authorities now believe that they know who carried the bomb onto the plane and detonated it: a man who was then sucked out of the hole in the fuselage and became the attack's only fatality. (Only two minor injuries were reported among other passengers and crew.) From CNN:

The man sucked out of a Somali airliner after an inflight explosion has been identified as Abdullahi Abdisalam Borleh, an elderly Somali national, Somalia officials said.
Investigators suspect he carried a laptop computer with a bomb concealed in it onto the plane, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

One can only hope that Borleh, who is believed to have been acting in affiliation with the al-Shabab jihadi terror group, was conscious for long enough to understand just how ironically his attempt to murder more than seventy people had gone wrong.

Rico says let's hope they all continue to fuck up like this...
