Libya plane crash kills 103, Dutch boy only survivor

TRIPOLI - A Libyan Airbus crashed as it tried to land at Tripoli airport early on Wednesday, killing 103 passengers and crew aboard, but a Dutch boy survived, officials said.

Libya's Afriqiyah Airways said it operated the plane, which was flying from Johannesburg in South Africa to Tripoli. Planemaker Airbus said the jet was an A330-200 and that the company would help authorities with their investigation.

"All the passengers and crew died except for one child," a Libyan security source told Reuters at Tripoli airport. "There were 93 passengers and 11 crew on board."
