“According to unnamed US officials, it was American intelligence agencies that were behind Turkey’s decision to force down a Syrian passenger plane last week, to follow up on US suspicions that the plane had Russian military hardware aboard. Russian officials insist all that was on board were ‘dual use’ radar parts. Officials now concede that they have been talking with Turkey about the idea of attacking Syria to impose a ‘no-fly zone.’ No decision has been made, and such a move would be an act of war, one likely to spark a major reaction from Russia and China, two close allies of Syria.”
