Turkish armed forces shot down a Syrian plane on Sunday which Turkey said had crossed into its air space in an area where Syrian rebels have been battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces for control of a border crossing.
"A Syrian plane violated our airspace," Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told an election rally in northwest Turkey. "Our F-16s took off and hit this plane. Why? Because if you violate my airspace, our slap after this will be hard."
Syria condemned what it called a "blatant aggression" and said the jet was pursuing rebel fighters inside Syria. It said the pilot had managed to eject before the plane crashed.

Well now, Turkey has shot down a Syrian helicopter and now a Syrian Plane. Think anything will come from this? The Rebel/Terrorists keep retreating back into Turkey where Erdogran allows them to run for cover and hide out. Then when they can build up. They go back and try again. Should Turkey be held responsible for aiding and abetting Terrorists?
