Islamic State says shot down Iraqi fighter plane
BAGHDAD - Islamic State said on Thursday it had shot down an Iraqi fighter plane north of the city of Ramadi in Anbar Province.
It was not immediately possible to independently confirm the claim made on one of Islamic State's Twitter accounts.
A member of an anti-Islamic State Sunni force called Sahwa (Awakening) said an Iraqi jet, a Russian-made Su-25, was seen in crashing in flames after being shot down north of Ramadi.
The Islamic State Twitter account said the jet had been shot down as it conducted a raid on areas north of Ramadi, the provincial capital of Sunni heartland Anbar.
