An investigation committee said Sunday that no evidence has been found to indicate that a technical failure was behind an air crash in Libya that killed 103 people this month, local Quryna newspaper reported.

According to a preliminary report published by the newspaper, the investigation team also did not find any evidence that the crash was caused by a terrorist attack.

An Airbus A-330 operated by Libya's Afriqiyah Airways crashed on landing on May 12 at Tripoli airport after completing a more than seven-hour flight across the African continent from Johannesburg, South Africa, killing 103 people with a nine-year- old Dutch boy as a sole survivor.

"According to the data recovered so far from the two black boxes, there is no sign of any technical failure before the crash, " the investigation committee chief Naji Ramadan Dhaw said in the report.

The report said that the pilots were highly qualified to fly this type of planes and they had already operated more than one flight on this route while the authorizations for the crew were valid.

The report also ruled out that an explosion or fire took place on board the plane before the incident.

The panel also said the crash was not caused by a lack of fuel, adding that all Tripoli airport's aviation support services were operating normally that day.

"The two black boxes were in good condition when found, and the data were recovered with the help of facilitations offered by the French investigation bureau," the report said, noting that the team included French, Dutch, and U.S. investigators as well as representatives from planemaker Airbus.

"Based on the voice recordings of the plane and those from air control tower, it has been found that the pilots did not call for any technical or medical assistance, and the control tower did not ask the pilots not to land at the airport," the report concluded.
