AKIPRESS.COM - Islamic State (IS) militants have shot down a US-led coalition warplane over northern Syria, activists say, the western media report Wednesday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the aircraft, believed to be from an Arab state, went down near Raqqa.

The UK-based group said the fate of the pilot was unknown, but IS supporters published photos they said showed a Jordanian airman surrounded by gunmen.

Jordan is one of four Arab countries whose aircraft have been bombing IS positions in Syria since September.
