MIT Implicates 'Cypriot Flight Attendant' in Libyan Plane Crash

The MIT is involved in the investigation of the crash of the Libyan plane near Haymana in Ankara, with Turkish authorities detaining and questioning a Cypriot flight attendant. The flight attendant, a member of the crew that had flown the plane to Turkey, was apprehended from the hotel where she was staying, following initiatives by the MIT and a warrant from the Ankara Public Prosecutor's Office. The investigation concerns the crash of the aircraft carrying a Libyan delegation, including the Chief of the Libyan Army, Mohamed Ali Al-Hadad, who lost his life. According to Turkish media, the flight attendant was taken into custody and the interrogation focuses on her contacts and connections. Although no 'concrete' evidence emerged in the initial stage, the investigation continues. The process was characterized by increased discretion due to the flight attendant's Cypriot citizenship. The investigation is being conducted jointly by the judiciary, police and intelligence services. The plane's 'black box' will be examined in the United Kingdom. Questions remain about the use of a private plane by the Libyan delegation and changes to the flight crew, without any related clarifications being made public. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Ankara, while still in Turkish airspace. Turkish authorities are investigating all possible causes of the crash, including the possibility of sabotage.
