[Libya Herald] A Libyan air force Mig 23 crashed today in Benghazi during an A Libyan National Army front man said the warplane had suffered a technical failure with one account saying it had went kaboom!while firing rockets. The front man denied an earlier report credited to a LNA commander that the aircraft had been hit by ground fire. "If we say an aircraft has been hit it has been hit" he said, "If we say it was technical failure, it was technical failure". The Mig’s pilot Younis al-Dinali and his co-pilot survived the kaboom. However four more members of the Saiqa Special forces, including an unnamed field commander, died today in Ganfouda. Two members of the unit were killed yesterday. In the other hard boyz enclaves in the city, Sabri and Suq al-Hut, army engineers appear to have almost completed a series of sand berms that block roads and open ground surrounding both these downtown districts. There are unconfirmed reports that the LNA is preparing an assault. |
