Daallo Airlines Flight 159 was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by Somali-owned Daallo Airlines. On 2 February 2016, an explosion occurred on board the aircraft 20 minutes after it took off from Mogadishu. The aircraft was able to return to the airport safely with one fatality (likely the bomber) reported. A subsequent investigation indicated that the explosion was caused by a bomb[2][3] detonated in a suicide attack.[4] The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab later claimed responsibility for the bombing.[5][6][7] A total of ten people were convicted in relation to the plot.[8]
