| IS Fighters with Captured Pilot |
Islamic State militants captured a Jordanian pilot after his plane went
down during operations by the U.S.-led coalition against the group on
Wednesday in northeastern Syria, Jordan’s military said. The Raqqa Media Center, which is sanctioned by Islamic State, claimed
the group shot the plane down with antiaircraft guns and the pilot
ejected near the city of Raqqa—the capital of a province by the same
name that is the seat of Islamic State’s self-proclaimed caliphate.
