    Default Libya plane crash 'kills all 104 on board'



    A commercial passenger plane has crashed in Libya, killing at least 104 people on board, airport officials say.
    The Afriqiyah Airways flight from Johannesburg had been due to land at 0610 local (0410 GMT), they said. The plane crashed close to the airport.
    At least 93 passengers were on board the Airbus 330. They are believed to be of various nationalities, including British and South African.
    The 11 crew were all thought to be Libyan nationals, an employee said.
    Initial reports said there were 94 passengers on board, but Reuters news agency cited Afriqiyah as saying there were 93.
    The plane had been due to go on to Gatwick airport near London after stopping in Tripoli.
    The BBC's Rana Jawad in Tripoli says it was not clear whether the plane was on the runway when it crashed, but she says that people she spoke to at the airport said they could not see the plane.
    Ambulances have been going back and forth to the airport, our correspondent says.
    She adds that the weather has been sunny and clear over the past few days.
    Afriqiyah Airways is a Libyan airline that was founded in 2001.
