slamic State (Isis) fighters have shot down a Syrian military plane on Sunday (18 Septmber), according to IS-affiliated news agency Amaq. The plane was reportedly brought down in the eastern city of Deir Al-Zour a day after US-led airstrikes killed at least 62 Syrian government fighters in the city.
"A Syrian warplane belonging to the Syrian regime was brought down when targeted by fighters from the IS (Daesh) in the city of Deir al-Zour," Amaq said in an online statement.
With a ceasefire already on shaky ground following the US strikes, the latest incident is likely to bring about further tension and finger pointing between Russia and the US.
The plane's downing comes hours after Russian military personnel accused the US of trying to strengthen the IS position in the fiercely contested city following Saturday's (17 September) bombing. Syria's Foreign Ministry made similar accusations.
"Five US aircrafts launched fierce airstrike on the Syrian Army positions in al-Tharda Mountain in the surroundings of Deir Al-Zour Airport. The attack lasted for an hour," they said in a statement, according to state-run SANA.
"The facts speak for themselves. This attack is deliberate and the US has plotted it in order to implement its strategy in continuing the terrorists' war against the Syrian army.
"The attack launched by the IS terrorists on the same site and taking control over it proves the correctness of what has been previously stated and highlights the coordination between this terrorist organization and the US."
US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said the United States has "relayed our regret" for the unintentional loss of life of Syrian forces fighting the Islamic State group in the bombing.
However, she said Russia should be "embarrassed" for issuing a statement suggesting that the airstrike indicated that the U.S. was complicit in trying to help IS.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict, said the pilot of the warplane was killed.
^Well, the five years are over and nobody attacked Rawaafidh Iran. As a matter fact, Rawaafidh Iran was part of the invasion against Afghanistan and Iraq. Even in Libya, Rawaafidh Iran was providing food and other supports to the rebels who opposed Muammar Qaddafi.
What about Russia coming and joining the plan to massacre Syrian Sunnis? All of the foreign powers, who are active in Syria, are denying the Sunni majority in that country to seize power.
The fact is, the disciples of Russia Today and SputnikNews have no explanation for those 2 points.
Nope, it is truth that is exposing your beloved Rawaafidh Iran and toothless grave-going Sufis that cheer for anyone who against the true Muslims.^Well, the five years are over and nobody attacked Rawaafidh Iran.

The difference between me and you is, I still practice the fundamental principles of the Shafici Islam that I have inherited from my ancestors.
Adiguna sadly with the age of 50 + you have been brainwashed to believe Takfiri ideology. May be you are planning mission of child wedding suicide bomber, child beheading etc in back home.....waa in fiiro dheer laguu yeeshaa!!!
Its you the jahil. All your knowledge is based on sheikh Google, that leads you Takfiri sites. We all know that you are lacking the basic knowledge of Islam, that is the reason you always very quick to form judgements on others. Only Wahhabis judge other people. They know who will go Jannah and Adab. Subhanna laah.gegiroor

Actually, agewise, I am much younger than you're, and seriously, you know nothing about Shafi'i school of thought in Sunni Islam. Supporting dictatorships and sectarian Iran and their Nusayris puppets have no place in the teachings of Sheekh Mohamed Idris Bin Shafi'i. You should first study the writings of an established Islamic jurist like Sheikh Shafi'i and what he said about the Rawaafidh in his time before you claim it.
That said, over 80% of Syria's population are Sunni Muslims, and they follow the Shafi'i Madhab. They are the ones leading the current revolution. That is all about this revolution in Syria.
