A PLANE heading for Gatwick has crash landed in Libya killing almost everyone on board.
British citizens are thought to have been on the flight from Johannesburg when it exploded upon crash landing at Tripoli airport in Libya.
The Foreign Office said they were trying to confirm reports that there were Brits on board the flight.
More than 100 passengers and crew were killed. An eight-year-old Dutch boy is believed to be the sole survivor.
