Not worried at all. Being a non-western airline, the public will assume it was a beater airplane maintained by dudes wearing loinclothes using junkyard parts, and flown by incompetents who had been fired from every previous pilot job they had.
If it was terrorism, they'll just write it off to poor security in the third world.
