Plane from Minsk to Libya - reported the other day.
Belarus has sent planes carrying weapons to Libya, and dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi might well benefit from Belarusian president Viktor Lukasenko's hospitality, according to a Swedish think-tank

A Swedish think-tank renowned for its work on the arms trade has established a connection between Belarus, often dubbed Europe’s last dictatorship, and Libya.

On February 15 a flight from Belarus’ Baranovichi military airbase – which holds a major supply of arms and light weapons left over from the Cold War - landed in southern Libya, Hugh Griffiths, from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SPIRI) think-tank, told Radio Sweden.
