Photos posted on the February 17 Uprising Facebook page, which was created in January 2011 to spread the word about the anti-Gaddafi revolt, appear to show the helicopter that was attacked earlier today while delivering election supplies to Benghazi.

One man was killed when gunfire struck the aircraft.

The Facebook page claims that 14.5mm caliber bullets hit the helicopter, which corresponds to claims from military officials that an antiaircraft gun was used, but the actual weaponry and the perpetrators are unknown.
