jets are burning
IOL News is reporting this today:
Antananarivo – A Madagascan government minister claimed on Thursday an angry mob attacked and burnt his private jet as he visited the country’s Farafanaga region earlier this week.
Economy, Commerce and Industry Minister Ivohasina Razafimahefa told AFP that rumours had circulated that he was carrying money aboard while on an official visit to the town of Farafangana on Tuesday.
“Acting on this information, people stormed the plane hoping there would be a large amount of money inside but of course they did not find anything. Disappointed, they decided to set fire to the plane,” he said.
The minister said he had to seek refuge in his hotel before flying back to the capital Antananarivo by helicopter later.
