Istanbul- The technical analysis of the recovered black boxes from a jet crash that killed eight people, including western Libya's military chief, began as the investigation proceeded in cooperation with Libyan authorities, the Turkish Ministry of Defence said Thursday.
The private jet with Gen. Muhammad Ali Ahmad al-Haddad, four other military officials and three crew members crashed on Tuesday after taking off from Turkiye's capital, Ankara, killing everyone on board. Libyan officials said the cause of the crash was a technical malfunction on the plane.

The wreckage was scattered across an area covering 3 square kilometres, complicating recovery efforts, according to the Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya.
