Russia seeks alleged killer of Turkey-downed jet pilot after Rabia recapture
Nerdun HacıoÄlu â MOSCOW
Russian soldiers are searching for the alleged killer of a Russian pilot who was shot after the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey near the Syrian border on Nov. 24, according to reports by Russian media.
Alparslan Ãelik, a Turkish citizen who claimed to have shot Russian pilot Oleg Peshkov, and his group were in the rebel-held Rabia town in the western coastal province of Latakia, which was recently recaptured by Syrian pro-government forces, where soldiers were looking to âtake revenge,â Russian DNI and Lifenews have reported.
The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has also reported that Russian officers entered Rabia.
Backed by Russian airstrikes, Syrian pro-government forces recaptured the town on Jan. 24.
After the downing of the jet, Alparslan Ãelik defended the killing of Peshkov in a video, saying that the pilot had dropped bombs on the Turkmens.

There will be no Club GITMO is they find him...
May Alparslan Atelik linger awhile, and then be sent off with many of his fellow Turkmen.

If it was such a good thing to murder the pilot, why only one shooter?
Why didn’t the unit assemble for a Turkey shoot.
