Video footage shows two men handing what appears to be a laptop to a suspected bomber before he boarded a passenger airline on which a bomb exploded last week in Somalia, a government spokesman says.
At least one of the men delivering the laptop was an employee at the main airport in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, from where the Daallo Airlines jetliner took off, Abdisalam Aato said.
It is believed the laptop-like device contained the bomb which caused the explosion, the Associated Press news agency reports.
"At least 20 people, including the two men in the CCTV footage who handed over the laptop to the suspected bomber, were arrested in connection with the explosion in the aircraft,'' Mr Aato told AP.
The explosion punched a hole in the fuselage, and forced the Djibouti-bound Airbus 321 to make an emergency landing in Mogadishu.
No-one was killed in the blast and no group has said it carried out the attack.
