Turkey says downed jet was not spying on Syria

Turkey's foreign minister says a Turkish jet was downed in international airspace after it mistakenly entered Syria, but the plane was not on a spying mission.

 

Ahmet Davutoglu says the plane entered Syrian airspace on Friday, but quickly left when warned by Turkey. He says the plane had no "covert mission related to Syria," and it was purely on a training flight to test Turkey's radar capabilities. (AP)
