Three killed as Libyan jet fighter crashes into residential area in Tobruk



Three people died and nine were injured when a Libyan fighter jet slammed into a residential area of Tobruk.

The plane, from Libya's outdated air force, went down around one kilometre from the seat of the country's elected parliament.

Video footage of the crash shows the jet flying over the city before turning upside down and plunging into buildings below.

The crash happened during a military event to honour the pilot of another warplane that crashed last week in the eastern city of Bayda.
