Libya allows Egypt military planes to land

Libya has allowed two Egyptian military aircraft to land in Libya to evacuate Egyptian workers, Egypt's foreign minister was quoted as saying by the state news agency on Tuesday.

"Egyptair will also fly four flights to transport Egyptians from Libya and all flights will operate throughout the day," Ahmed Aboul Gheit said, calling on Egyptians wanting to leave Libya to coordinate with the embassy. It was not immediately clear at which airport the aircraft had been permitted to land, nor when they will land. (Reuters)
