Live, work and fly in Libya (A320) and you won't be amazed. Corrupt and medieval country, although the general population are actually good friendly folk. Not so the dictator's people...the "authorities". They'll have tried to analyse the data themselves, and maybe even cook it.
As for Libyan pilot's abilities. Hard to judge, due to the many years of minimal flying on ancient equipment they have endured. I will however volunteer that the macho culture prevails, and maintenance standards are lamentable.
As already said, this was an accident waiting to happen. Watch this space for the next one. The odd crash doesn't discourage this lot.
