The destruction of a Libyan plane over Benghazi (video)

Presented first as the destruction by the rebels of a plane of the pro-Gaddafi forces, then as a Mig23 of the rebels shot down by the pro-Gaddafi forces, the last information disseminated is that of a mistake by the rebels. It is indeed a Mig-23 of the rebellion which was shot down, but by a shot coming from its ranks. Considering the height and the precision of the shooting, one can doubt however that it was made by an "amateur".
