What's Going On? Series Of Unusual Aerial Incidents Leaves Turkey On Edge

On Tuesday the plane carrying Libya's army chief of staff of the Tripoli-based, UN-backed government, Mohammed al-Haddad, went down in a fiery crash soon after taking off from Ankara, as we earlier reported. Gen. Haddad along with seven others were killed, with no survivors.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has since confirmed that the black box has been recovered from the wreckage, adding that the "examination and evaluation processes" has begun. But Turkish sources have been very quick to rule out terror bombing, sabotage, or foul play - saying that it was a mere technical failure.
