According to the BBC
The Civil Aviation Authority says the plane was taxi-ing to its parking bay when a fire started in one of the engines.

Some eyewitnesses say they had a bad landing and that the pilots had to brake hard.

Experts believe this could have caused the cylinders to blow, sparking an explosion.
