ATHENS: A private plane belonging to embattled Libyan leader Moamar Qadhafi with unknown passengers aboard crossed Greek airspace en route to Egypt on Wednesday, a Greek defence ministry source said.
"A private plane of Qadhafi has crossed Greek airspace en route to Egypt," the ministry source told AFP, adding: "We do not know who is on board."
A Greek air force source said the plane was a Libyan Airlines Falcon 900 that normally carries VIPs, though the pilot denied that dignitaries were on board.
"The pilot tabled a flight plan from Tripoli to Cairo," the air force source said, adding: "The plane crossed southwest of the island of Crete around an hour ago. It should be landing in Cairo by now."
