Russia told Assad to shoot down Turkish plane, murder captured pilots, ‘leaked Syrian documents’ show. Devastating intelligence papers purport to prove jet was downed on Moscow’s orders, pilots captured alive by intelligence unit and then killed; Damascus had claimed June incident was an accident.

DAMASCUS,— Contrary to previous reports, the two pilots of a Turkish F-4 Phantom which was shot down by Syria in June were not killed in the crash, but were murdered by the Assad regime on Russian orders, according to a devastating series of alleged Syrian intelligence documents leaked to and published by Al-Arabiya on Saturday.

As long as there are humans, the world economy is based on money, and a philosophy of power rules the weak, then it will remain.

Maybe in the next life time- as the Roll up the rim says "Play again"

The original report I saw was on the Times of Israel website.... go figure!

Surely they wouldn't be trying to play different sides off against each other... again... would they?

Not that it would make any difference but the mods must have missed this...

Turkey has said the documents are fake. I believe them, as the Syrian rebels have been caught faking several videos that supposedly showed them shooting down Syrian aircraft, among other things. This would be almost perfect for them to fake, just to get people on their side.


Oh, and HP, it was already posted before yours too.
