Syria shot at second plane, Turkey says

Turkey says Syria fired on one of its planes that was taking part in a rescue operation for a warplane shot down by Syrian forces last Friday.

Turkey's deputy PM said the CASA search and rescue plane, looking for the F-4 Phantom jet, was not brought down.

He vowed Syria would "not go unpunished" but that Turkey had "no intention" of going to war.

Nato will discuss the downing of the jet on Tuesday at a meeting called by Turkey, a member state.

... calling radical islamists to support riots in Syria:

Here actually doesn't matter neither when and where was recorded the video, nor did Americans indeed kill Abu Yahya Al Aibi or is he still alive and well! I say, it's is important to note here that both in US and Al-Queda they have right the same position on Syrian internal conflict being ready forcibly to support Syrian rioting opposition. You know what? In fact, that won't be a surprise for me if they are American who made the record before having declared Abu Yahya Al Aibi to be dead. For my being journalist and now I personally had and have lots of materials proving actually the fact that sometimes Americans kill islamists' leaders not to strike on international terrorism, but to take and to enforce their own control over Islamic organization all over the world. Surely no one will simply allow me or somebody else to publish such a material...
