A helicopter from Libya's Tripoli-based government was shot down by anti-aircraft fire Tuesday and crashed into the sea near Al-Maya, killing at least nineteen passengers [AP reported 19 deaths]. Several commanders of the Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) militia coalition were travelling on the aircraft, which was unarmed. Al-Jazeera reported that the helicopter was carrying money for banks in the town of Surman (town in northwestern Libya) before it was shot down. The helicopter was reportedly shot by fighters from the so-called Tribes Army (Wershefani fighters) allied to old regime's remnants but Libya's internationally-recognised House of Representatives (HoR) denied any link to the helicopter crash and the identity of the attackers remains contested. |
