    Turkey called for a NATO meeting and issued a stark warning to Syria on Sunday over a downed Turkish fighter jet, raising fears that the incident could send tensions soaring in the region. The moves came after Ankara accused Damascus of shooting down a Turkish F-4 phantom jet on Friday when it was clearly in international airspace after briefly straying into Syrian territory.  Search teams have located the wreckage of the jet in Syrian waters at a depth of 1,300 meters, Turkish news channels reported on Sunday, without citing a source, reported Reuters. “According to our conclusions, our plane was shot down in international airspace, 13 nautical miles from Syria,” Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told TRT television.  “The plane did not show any sign of hostility toward Syria and was shot down about 15 minutes after having momentarily violated Syrian airspace,” he said.

    This is FSA in Dummar al-Balad, , also very impressive that they have an FSA. Let's hope for Malki FSA soon.
