Fighter Jet Crash in Libya


Footage has emerged out of Libya, allegedly showing an 'Operation Dignity' jet crashing, killing its pilot and others during a flyover at Tobruk Air Base. The authenticity of the video has not been verified, but the Libyan Herald news outlet has provided information which appears to support the video. In a cruel twist of fate, the plane apparently crashed during a memorial ceremony for another pilot who died when his plane crashed, killing him, just four days ago. Both crashes are believed to be the result of technical failures. An Air Force officer at Tobruk airbase said the Mig jet crashed into a building as a result of the fault. There are a reports that a young boy was also killed by the impact. It is not known if this is the full extent of the casualties. The pilot killed int the accident this afternoon has been identified as Rafa Al-Farani. Farani was in his fifties and lived in Tobruk with his family. He was originally from Benghazi. The crash took place during a service of remembrance for Air Force officer Ibrahim Al-Manifi who died on Saturday when his aircraft suffered a technical fault over Beida while flying from Tobruk to Benghazi
