The Associated Press reported on Monday that a senior official has apologized for shooting down a US drone in western Libya on Hiftir’s behalf
The agency said, through its official website, that the official of Hifter revealed that their fighters made a mistake “and thought it was a Turkish-made aircraft
The agency confirmed that the Hiftir leaders prevented their members from sharing any picture on the Internet of the US aircraft they shot down contrary to what they did with the Italian aircraft that crashed last week, according to the agency
It is worth noting that the US Africa Command Center (AFRICOM) said on Saturday it had lost one of its aircrafts over Libya’s western region, without giving further details
