Turkey downs Syria warplane on border
By Staff writer | Al Arabiya News
Sunday, 23 March 2014Turkish anti-aircraft fire shot down a Syrian warplane on Sunday as it bombed rebels fighting to seize control of a border post in northwestern Syria, an NGO said.
“Turkish air defenses targeted a Syrian fighter bomber as it struck areas of the northern province of Latakia. The plane caught fire and crashed in Syrian territory,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Syrian rebels have been getting their tails kicked for the last two weeks so hopefully this is not an indication that Turkey intends to invade Syria and destabilize the region even further. However with money flowing in from Qatar and radical Islamist groups, I would not be shocked to see the Turkish military used as a mercenary force to buy time for the rebellion to regroup.

“The Syrian rebels have been getting their tails kicked for the last two weeks…”
Would you please, PLEASE stop calling them REBELS. Nothing could be further from the truth.
