Benghazi, 15 August 2017:

Libyan National Army (LNA) pilot Colonel Adel Jehani whose aircraft was downed over Derna was killed by a single shot to the head, a pathologist has claimed.

The Libyan Red Crescent brought Jehani’s body back the Benghazi today by helicopter.  The mujahideen in Derna originally said that Jehani and his co-pilot Waeel Waqwaq were captured when after they had ejected from their Mig-21.  However a later statement said that Jehani had been executed in revenge for LNA air attacks on the town. The fate of Waqwaq is still unknown.

Jehani’s killing triggered a total LNA lockdown on Derna, which has only been lifted to allow in some medical supplies. A supply vessel approaching the port was reportedly destroyed by a helicopter gunship on Saturday. The LNA claimed it had been carrying “terrorists, ammunition and weapons” but did not say from where it had come.
