Q1: What can you tell us about the motive behind the attack? Is everything running normally at the airport?

Q2: Somalia was supposed to hold national elections this year but is instead going to hold what diplomats call a "limited franchise election" in which ordinary citizens do not participate. Has this decision made the situation worse there?
