MISRATA - A Qatari plane made a quick stop in the rebel-held Libyan city of Misrata on Saturday to offload ammunition destined for rebel fighters, sources with knowledge of the flight said.

Officials at the airport acknowledged a Qatari plane landed at Misrata airport but declined to reveal details of its contents.

Another source showed Reuters a photo of a plane shortly after its departure with "Qatar" written on underside of the fuselage.
