At least five people died in a military helicopter crash about 65 km (40 miles) from the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk, military sources said, the Libya Herald reported Sept. 20. A senior advisor to the president of the Tobruk-based House of Representatives was among those killed, sources said. The crash may have been due to technical issues. Nearly five years after the death of former leader Moammar Gadhafi, the political situation in Libya is as muddled as ever.
