Syrian rebels claim downing of military plane
Syrian rebels say they have brought down a fighter jet near the town of Atarib in Aleppo province, in video obtained by the Reuters news agency, as the commander of the country's main rebel group said was moving its command centre from the Turkish border into Syria.
Reuters could not confirm the authenticity of the video in which rebels also appeared to have surrounded a military building near the town of Awrem, said to be loyal to President Bashar al-Assad's government.
"God's willing the building 46 has been attacked which is located near Awrem. God also helped us and we brought down a Mig warplane," one rebel was reported as saying by the news agency on Saturday.
