Islamists from the rebel group Libyan Dawn have posed with aeroplanes seized from Tripoli Airport last month. |
Soldiers from the group Libyan Dawn can be seen climbing on to the wings of commercial jets while smiling and waving for the camera, the report said.
US officials fear that these aeroplanes could now be used to carry out 9/11-style attacks in the region on the anniversary of the tragedy this month, according to the report.
A total of 11 commercial jets from state-owned carriers Libyan Airlines and Afriqiyah Airways went missing in August after militants from the so-called 'masked men brigade' overran the airport, the report said.
US officials have not publicly confirmed the eleven planes' disappearance, but are reportedly working to track them down, according to the report.
