TV news here in the UK is reporting the crash in East Libya, from 
equipment failure, of an F-15E, most probably from the deployment at 
Lakenheath, then redeployed to Italy (reported to have LN on the tail). 
Crew of 2 ejected and safe, one at least welcomed by local people who 
'lined up to shake his hand'.

Just now on BBC TV News 24 there has been shown video from the crash 
site, with local people climbing over the wreckage. Then they came under 
attack and had to run for cover.
