'lost radar contact'
Libya's Chief of General Staff and five others killed in jet crash over Turkish airspace
SUMMARY
A business jet carrying five people, including Libya's army chief of staff, Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, has crashed shortly after taking off from Ankara. The plane lost contact about half an hour into its flight due to a technical malfunction.
It requested an emergency landing but communication was lost. Authorities later found wreckage in Ankara's Haymana district. The crash killed everyone on board, prompting Libya's Prime Minister to express deep sorrow.
Turkish officials are investigating the incident, and Ankara's airport has been closed, causing flight diversions. Al-Haddad was a key military leader in Libya's efforts for unity.
