US warplane crashes in eastern Libya
The F-15E went down near Benghazi in eastern Libya
A US warplane has crashed in eastern Libya, following an apparent mechanical failure, the US military has said.
It said there was no indication the F-15E Eagle had been brought down by hostile fire. Both crew members ejected and are safe.
The plane went down near the rebel stronghold of Benghazi after a third night of allied air strikes against Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces.
The coalition is enforcing a UN resolution to protect civilians.
The US military would not give the exact location the F-15E Eagle came down, but said both crewmen suffered only minor injuries after ejecting.
The aircraft was based in England and was operating out of Aviano in Italy.
