Captured Jordanian pilot says an ISIS missile downed his jet
The Islamic State has released what it claims is an interview with the Jordanian pilot who was captured by the militant group after his plane went down over Raqqa, the ISIS-held town in northern Syria, last week. It quotes 26-year-old Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh as saying that his F-16 fighter jet was downed by a “heat-seeking missile.” The US and Jordan both denied the plane was shot down.
