A war plane has been shot down in Syria’s eastern Raqqa province controlled by Islamic group militants.
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"We have confirmed reports that IS members took a (non-Syrian) Arab pilot prisoner after shooting his plane down with an anti-aircraft missile near Raqa city,"source
The IS branch in Raqa published photographs on jihadist websites purporting to show its fighters holding the captured pilot, with a caption identifying him as Jordanian and giving his name.
The militants claimed to have shot down the warplane with a heat-seeking missile.
There was no immediate reaction from authorities in Jordan.
Jordan is among a number of countries that have joined the US-led alliance carrying out air strikes against IS after the jihadists seized control of large parts of Syria and Iraq.Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Bahrain are taking part in the air strikes in Syria alongside the United States.Australia, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France and The Netherlands have joined the raids in Iraq.
Blood shed everywhere.
