Turkey Shoots Down Helicopter From Syria

Turkish jets shot down a Syrian helicopter, on Monday afternoon.

Two F16s were scrambled as the helicopter approached the border.

When it crossed the line and, according to Turkey, refused to turn back one of the jets shot it down.

Syria said that the helicopter had accidentally crossed the border and was on it's way back to Syria, when it was attacked.

The Syrian government said that the helicopter had been conducting surveillance of rebel activity and was unarmed.
