BBC reports a Somali man is in custody in Mogadishu, suspected of trying to take explosives onto a plane in November.He had chemicals, liquid and a syringe – materials similar to those used by the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a plane on Christmas Day.
The Daallo Airlines plane was due to fly to the northern Somali city of Hargeisa, then to Djibouti and Dubai.The airport is in one of the few areas controlled by the Somali government.Much of the country is in the hands of radical Islamist groups, accused of links to al-Qaeda.
