Turkey starts examining black boxes from jet crash that killed Libya’s military chief and 7 others

Experts in Turkey are analyzing black boxes from the crash that killed eight, including Libya's military chief, with wreckage spanning 3 square kilometers, officials said.

  • The Turkish defense ministry said experts have started analysing black boxes in Turkey on Thursday after a private jet crashed Tuesday, killing eight including western Libya's military chief.
  • A 22-person delegation including five family members was returning to Tripoli, Libya after defence talks in Ankara, and Libyan officials said the crash resulted from a technical malfunction.
  • Wreckage covering 3 square kilometers complicated recovery efforts as investigators in Turkey coordinate the probe with Libyan officials.
  • The loss matters because Al-Hadad, western Libya's military leader, played a key role in U.N.-brokered efforts, with Turkey as main backer of western Libya framing the diplomatic impact.
  • With rival east and west administrations and militia backing, the incident has broader national implications as Libya remains divided since the 2011 uprising that toppled Moammar Gadhafi.
