Shot down a military plane flying over Benghazi

A military plane, apparently a Mig-23, was shot down in Benghazi, a stronghold of the rebellion in eastern Libya, and fell to the ground, AFP journalists found. The device, which took several minutes over the city and its right rear was on fire, crashed in a residential area south of Benghazi, causing an explosion followed by smoke.

For the time has not been able to determine how the plane was shot but his fall set off cries of joy in Benghazi. The pilot got out of the device before it crashed. According to AFP journalists, it's a Mig-23.
