New Vision, A cargo plane carrying military equipment and six UPDF soldiers for the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia caught fire as it landed in Mogadishu yesterday morning.
A Somali Islamic group has claimed it shot at the aircraft, but the spokesman for the UPDF said evidence so far suggests a technical problem.
According to a witness, the pilot and the UPDF soldiers escaped safely and hastily removed all the cargo.
It took one hour for the only fire-fighting truck available at the airport to reach the plane as it had no fuel.
In a country where the goverment doesn't work, the revel forces attributes these acts, but the goberment denyes these self acusations. This kind of situations, can be a attemp of the gobernment to show some kind of control to the international community to on this way the possible investors wants to invest in Somalia.
