Two Libyan Air Force Mirage jet fighters unexpectedly flew to Malta this afternoon with their pilots claiming they escaped to Malta after having been ordered to bomb protesters who have taken control of the second city of Benghazi.
The pilots told the Maltese authorities that they left from a base near Tripoli. They are being questioned by the police.
The pilots initially asked for emergency clearance to land and for refueling.

What is hanging under the wing? Some kind of weapon?
