Three people were killed and nine injured when a Libyan war plane crashed on Tuesday in a residential part of the eastern city of Tobruk. The plane went down around half a mile from the seat of the country's elected parliament.

Footage appeared on YouTube today appearing to show the crash, filmed from a rooftop. The authenticity of this video has not been verified.
