General Mohammed Ali Ahmed al-Haddad and four other people were on a Falcon 50 plane that left Ankara, the capital of Turkey, on Tuesday evening.
In a message on X.com, Turkey's Interior Minister, Ali Yerlikaya, said that contact with the commercial plane was lost at 20:52 local time, which is about 42 minutes after the plane took off from Ankara airport.
The plane, which was traveling to Tripoli, had asked for an emergency landing before it lost contact.
The remains of the plane were found southwest of Ankara, and an investigation is now being conducted to find out what caused the crash.
