From the article:
“However, the U.S. military quickly rebutted the claim as false.
“There is no truth to reports of ISIL downing a U.S. aircraft near Anbar. All U.S. & Coalition aircraft accounted for at this time,” the U.S. Central Command posted on Twitter.”
“There is no truth to reports of ISIL downing a U.S. aircraft near Anbar. All U.S. & Coalition aircraft accounted for at this time,” the U.S. Central Command posted on Twitter.”
Which is the SOP response while a SAR op is underway.
“However, the U.S. military quickly rebutted the claim as false”
I’d like to believe this, but can any element of our Gov. be trusted at this point?
