TRIPOLI, Libya – Libya’s transport minister says at least 96 people have died and a Dutch boy has survived the crash of a Libyan Afriqiyah Airways plane with 104 people on board.
Mohammed Ali Zaidan said 96 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage, where state television showed dozens of rescue workers and police still sifting through a large field of smoldering debris.
Libya’s official JANA news agency quoted the minister as saying a Dutch boy has survived the Wednesday crash on landing at Tripoli’s airport.
