As rebels were celebrating the implementation of a no-fly zone over Libya witnesses say a plane has been shot down over the rebel-held city of Benghazi.

Update: A rebel spokesman was quoted as saying the downed jet was a rebel plane. The pilot was seen parachuting over the outskirts of Benghazi.

A reporter saw the plane go down in flames outside Benghazi early today, sending up a black cloud of smoke after the city came under attack. The sound of artillery and crackling gunfire was heard in the distance.
