"Al-Haddad, his senior adviser, Mohamed al-Essawi, and his military cameraman, Mohamed al-Mahjoub, were transported to their hometown in Misrata on Saturday evening for burial. Also killed in the aircraft crash in central Turkiye on Tuesday were the commander of army land forces, General Fetouri Ghrebil, and the head of military manufacturing, Mahmoud al-Gedewi, whose remains were moved to their respective hometowns for burial."
"The five were returning to the North African country from Ankara after meetings with Turkish defence officials, just a day after the Turkish parliament voted to extend the presence of its troops in Libya, as part of efforts to bolster military cooperation between Turkiye and the internationally recognised government in Tripoli. Turkish authorities say preliminary investigations suggest a technical failure. A Libyan military committee went to Ankara on Wednesday to help the investigation."
"After visiting the site of the crash, sources from the Libyan military committee told Al Jazeera it was a dreadful scene, with body parts scattered everywhere. Identification was so difficult that authorities had to perform DNA testing on the body parts to identify which of the aircraft passengers they belonged to. It was only after the long, painstaking process was completed that the bodies were finally repatriated to Libya."
General Mohammed al-Haddad, his senior adviser Mohamed al-Essawi, his military cameraman Mohamed al-Mahjoub, commander General Fetouri Ghrebil, and head of military manufacturing Mahmoud al-Gedewi died in an aircraft crash in central Turkiye while returning from meetings in Ankara. Turkish authorities say preliminary investigations suggest a technical failure. A Libyan military committee traveled to Ankara to assist the probe and both countries agreed to transfer the flight recorder to a neutral country for full investigation. The crash site contained scattered body parts, necessitating DNA testing for identification. Bodies received a Turkish military ceremony before repatriation and burial in their hometowns.
