Libyan rescuers discovered bodies of all passengers killed in a plane crash on Wednesday morning in the country's capital, Tripoli, Libya's transportation minister said.

The Airbus-A330 plane of the Libyan air carrier Afriqiyah Airways, which arrived in Tripoli from South Africa with 93 passengers and 11 crew members on board, crashed minutes before landing.

"According to data from the health and ecology ministry, 103 bodies were delivered to hospitals," Mohammed Ali Zidan told journalists.

A sole survivor in the plane crash is a 10-year-old boy from the Netherlands, who was discovered soon after the accident and rushed to a hospital. Doctors later said his life was out of danger.

The airliner carried mostly Dutch tourists, 62 in total, as well as citizens of Germany, South Africa, Finland, France, Philippines, Zimbabwe and Britain.

The cause of the accident has not been established so far with experts, including seven foreign specialists, working on decoding of discovered black boxes.
