TRIPOLI - A plane crashed while trying to land at Libya's Tripoli International Airport on Wednesday. The Afriqiyah Airways plane was flying in from Johannesburg, South Africa, when it crashed while attempting to land at the airport in the Libyan capital, an airline spokeswoman said. She could not say how many people were on board or whether there were any fatalities. "At the moment we have no details of survivors and Afriqiyah Airways will issue further statements when more details can be released in due course," she said, according to CNN. The plane, an Airbus 330-200, was carrying 93 passengers and 11 crew members. It was at the tail end of its nearly nine-hour-long flight when it crashed.
