Tripoli, May 12 (AFP) A Libyan plane arriving from South Africa crashed today at Tripoli airport killing all 105 people on board, a security official told AFP.
Among the dead were 94 passengers and 11 crew members, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

* UK phone maker INQ to sell unlocked phones in India
STAFF WRITER 12:43 HRS IST
New Delhi, May 12 (PTI) British phone maker INQ today said it has launched unlocked versions of its handsets, which were earlier only available with Aircel network, in the open market to tap the country's burgeoning telecom market.
Locked phones can't be used with all telecom networks and usually come with the connection.
However, after the handset is unlocked it can used for any telecom service. So, the launch of INQ's unlocked handsets would enable user's to go for any telecom operator's network and not just Aircel.
"All INQ phones in the market can be easily unlocked to any network. The new batch of phones are coming in the market over the coming days would be pre-unlocked," INQ Co-founder Jeff Taylor told PTI.

* Viswanathan Anand retains World Chess C'ship title
STAFF WRITER 2:27 HRS IST
Sofia (Bulgaria) May 11 (PTI) World champion Viswanathan Anand today retained his crown winning the World Chess Championship title by wrapping up the final game against Veselin Topalov of Russia here.
Anand achieved an improbable win playing with black in the final game to retain the world title by 6.5-5.5 margin after the end of the 12th and final game here.
Experts over the world had predicted that Topalov, at his worst, will draw the last game under normal time control and then the match will be headed in to the rapid tiebreaker.
However, it was not to be as Topalov, trying to look for complications, went haywire in a slightly difficult position and could not recover as Anand kept dealing one lethal blow after another to notch up his fourth world title in 11 years to remain the undisputed king of the game once again.
