Two Men Who Planned A Failed Attack On A Plane In Somalia Have Been Given Life Sentences

A military court in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, has handed down life sentences to two men who were charged with planning the attack on a Daallo Airlines flight in February.

A bomb exploded on the plane shortly after it took off from Mogadishu's airport on its way to Djibouti. A hole was blown in the plane's fuselage but the plane did not break up.

One passenger, who was sucked out of the plane, died and two other passengers were injured.  

Along with the two life sentences, eight others were given sentences ranging from six months to four years. They include former airport employees and security personnel.
