People look at a U.S Air Force F-15E fighter jet after it crashed near the eastern city of Benghazi March 22, 2011.

The aircraft was an F-15E Eagle, the report said citing a correspondent currently based in Libya.
The two crew members were rescued by rebels after the jet forced down in a field near Benghazi due to "mechanical failure," Britain's Sky News also quoted U.S. officials as saying.
According to other media reports, the two crew members ejected after the equipment failure and are safe, although sustaining minor injuries.
