Turkey has found the bodies of two pilots who were manning a jet that was shot down by Syrian fire last month. Turkey’s military general said that they were currently working on removing the bodies from the Mediterranean. On Tuesday, Syria President Bashar al-Assad issued a half-apology for the incident, saying that he “regrets” that the plane was shot down. The imbroglio has heightened tensions between the nations, with Turkey sending jets to defend its border with Syria—and threatening to retaliate against any military aggression.
