—A military grade of the explosive TNT caused this week's explosion on a Somali airliner, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN, citing an initial analysis of residue recovered from the aircraft.

The blast took place Tuesday on board a commercial plane after it set off above East Africa.

Evidence recovered from the airliner indicates a bomb was responsible for the explosion, according to a U.S. official.

An airport official estimated the Daallo plane was between 12,000 and 14,000 feet high when the blast occurred not long after it took off from Mogadishu International Airport.

The pilot then flew the Airbus A321-111, which had originated in Jeddah on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, back to the Somali capital.

No group immediately took responsibility for the act.

However, the U.S. official told CNN that investigators believe extremist group Al-Shabaab is responsible for the explosion.
