More video footage of the Syrian rebels shows them cheerfully shouting “Allah Akbar” after they shoot and recover the body of the SU-24 fighter jet pilot. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the decision by Turkey a “stab in the back” and vowed “significant consequences” for the NATO-member nation.
Meanwhile, Jahed Ahmad, a spokesman for the 10th Brigade, which is a group allegedly affiliated with the Free Syrian Army, said they would consider exchanging the body of the Russian pilot for prisoners held by the Syrian government controlled by Russia-allied Bashar Assad.
