Rebels 'Shoot Down Syrian Warplane'

Rebels claim they shot down a Syrian fighter plane in the northwestern province of Idlib near the Turkish border.

The Syrian Martyrs Brigade said in a statement the plane was brought down near the town of al-Thayabiya.

Video footage on al-Arabiya television showed what appeared to be smoke in the sky and a person parachuting down.

An army helicopter hovered over the area, apparently in search of the pilot.
