U.S. intelligence indicated a
Turkish warplane shot down by Syrian forces was most likely hit by shore-based
anti-aircraft guns while flying inside Syrian airspace, American officials said,
according to the Wall Street Journal. The finding falls in tune with Syria’s
account of the incident and contrasts reports from Turkish officials.
The Turkish government has said
debris from the plane fell into Syrian waters, but maintained that its fighter
jet was shot down without warning in international airspace.
