Mid-Air Explosion Allegedly Caused by Suicide Bomber

A Daallo Airlines flight to Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport (JIB) experienced a mid-air explosion Monday that was reportedly the work of a suicide bomber. The passenger who was sucked out of the aircraft allegedly set off a bomb onboard. He was able to “bypass rigorous security screening in Mogadishu” via a wheelchair, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle famously said: think of it as evolution in action. Am I sorry that a bomber has departed the gene pool on a one-way ticket? Not remotely. The question is whether the evolutionary trend it indicates is to fewer bombers, or smarter ones.

Rigorous screening in Mogadishu? Indeed, as it was in Sharm el Sheikh.
