A helicopter has crashed in southeastern Libya, killing a medic and two crew members carrying out a medical evacuation. The chopper went down overnight near an airbase in the Kufra region about 60 kilometres north of the border between Libya and Chad. The aircraft was attempting to evacuate a soldier who had been involved in a road accident in the desert. Two foreign nationals were among those on board who were killed. — AFP
