Libya | Plane crashes in Benghazi
A military aircraft has caught on fire and crashed in Benghazi, as reports of successive air strikes on the rebel-held Libyan town emerge.
The warplane, reportedly a Libyan government aircraft, came down after the imposition of a UN no-fly zone.
Multiple explosions could be heard from the centre of the city before the flaming plane dropped crashed.
Moments later a large plume of black smoke rose above Benghazi's southern skyline.
Sky's Emma Hurd, who witnessed the crash in Benghazi, said: "We saw it circling, then the sound of anti-aircraft fire, then the plane crashed in flames."
"It seems to show that Colonel Gaddafi is still flying his aircraft despite the imposition of the UN no-fly zone."
