Al-Marsad newspaper: Somali Foreign Minister Abdel Salam Abdi Ali said that the competent authorities in Somalia had received the passenger list for the same flight on which the so-called Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi departed, stressing that his name was not included in the official list of passengers.
The minister explained that subsequent investigations revealed that Al-Zubaidi did not travel as a regular passenger, but rather was hiding inside the space designated for passengers’ luggage on the plane, in a serious violation of safety and civil aviation procedures.
Abdul Salam Abdi Ali pointed out that the incident raises serious questions about how security measures were breached, stressing that the Somali authorities continue to follow up on the circumstances of the incident and coordinate with the parties concerned to reveal all the details and hold those responsible accountable.
