A plane of Turkish Airlines (THY) brought 288 Turks from Libya to Turkey on Monday as civil unrest continues to spread across Libya.
The Turks, many of whom are workers, arrived in Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport with a THY plane after they were evacuated from Tripoli.
Hundreds of people have been killed in Libya since protests broke out across the North African nation a week ago. In the capital, Tripoli, and cities of Benghazi, Bayda and Tobruk, people took to the streets to demonstrate against Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year reign.
