A plane crash near Haymana, Ankara, on December 24, 2025, has led to an investigation. A flight attendant was temporarily detained and questioned. The crash tragically killed Mohammed Ali Al-Haddad, the Libyan army commander. Several people with him also died.
The flight attendant is from Cyprus. Her name has not been shared. She was taken from her hotel in Ankara. The Turkish National Intelligence Organization detained her. The Ankara Prosecutor’s Office approved this. She was questioned by the Counterterrorism Unit.
The exact reason for the questioning is not public. However, sources say it is part of a larger search. Investigators want to find all reasons for the crash. The flight attendant was later released. She has now left Turkey. The government of Cyprus knows about the situation.
The plane was carrying the Libyan delegation. It crashed in a rural area near Ankara. Turkish officials immediately started an investigation. The judiciary, police, and intelligence services are looking closely. They are examining all parts of the event.
The aircraft's black box is important. It will be analyzed in the United Kingdom. This is to ensure fair and detailed data collection. Questions remain about the flight's details. Reports suggest the delegation used a private plane. The flight crew was changed before the flight.
Official answers about these points are not yet available. This makes the flight's last hours unclear. The flight attendant was questioned because she worked on this flight before. Investigators wanted to learn what she knew. They looked at her messages and contacts. The death of Al-Haddad and his group shows the investigation's importance.
