Footage online seems to show the capture of the “Portuguese mercenary” pilot whose fighter jet was downed by the Libyan National Army. He is seen being questioned after his plane was shot down, and later reveals his alleged name.
Forces loyal to General Khalifa Haftar on Tuesday shot down and arrested the pilot of a pro-Tripoli Mirage F1 jet, claiming he was an air force mercenary pilot of “Portuguese nationality.”
In one short clip, military personnel can be heard asking the bloodied detainee if he is a civilian, and what he is doing in Libya. While the response is hard to decipher through the chaos, he appears to mention the Red Cross.
Another clip shows part of what could have been the formal questioning, in which the man reveals his alleged name and citizenship.
