The military said Syrian missile systems locked on to five Turkish jets patrolling the border. The military is on heightened alert after Turkish forces shot down a Syrian jet on March 23 that allegedly strayed into Turkish airspace. Syrian military forces are battling al Qaeda-linked rebels for border territory in Syria’s Latakia province, and have accused Turkey of assisting the rebels. An Armenian group in the US called on President Obama to demand that Turkey stop facilitating attacks by al Qaeda-linked fighters in Kasab in Latakia.
