The Government of National Unity Libya (GUN) confirmed this Tuesday the death of the chief of the General Staff, Mohamed al Haddad, in a plane crash in Türkiye in which he was traveling with senior Libyan military officials.
“This great tragedy is a great loss for the nation, the military establishment and all the people,” declared GUN Prime Minister AbdelHamid Dbeiba in a message on the X social network.
Previously, the Turkish Ministry of the Interior had reported the loss of contact with the plane carrying Haddad, along with four other passengers, who had to make a “emergency descent” near Haymana, about 60 kilometers southwest of Ankara.
The Turkish Defense Ministry had earlier announced the visit of the Libyan chief of the General Staff, reporting that he had met with Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler and his Turkish counterpart Selcuk Bayraktaroglu, along with other Turkish military commanders.
Although officials did not say whether the plane had crashed, footage from Turkish broadcasters showed a flash of light where the plane was said to have lost contact by radio.
