Radio contact was lost with a private jet believed to be carrying Libya’s army chief of staff, Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, over Ankara, Turkey. This incident prompted the diversion of flights from Ankara’s Esenboga airport, as confirmed by flight tracking data. Earlier this week, the Turkish defense ministry announced Al-Haddad’s visit, during which he met with his Turkish counterpart and other military officials. The loss of contact raises concerns about the safety and security of international military figures, particularly amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, highlighting the complexities of international diplomacy and military collaboration.
