Reform Party of Syria pushing false IDF/AF F-16 kills
Monday, February 14, 2005 - The internet newspaper worldtribune.com reported last week that Israel Air Force F-16s intercepted and downed two Syrian MiG-29 Fulcrums over the Mediterranean on Sept. 14, 2004. The article was based on a false report from the Washington D.C.-based Reform Party of Syria, a group which has tried for years to sway public opinion in favour of Syria.
The report from the Reform Party of Syria was based on a dubious story about a September 2001 incident in which IDF/AF F-15 Eagles allegedly downed two Syrian MiG-29 Fulcrums. Apparently, the Reform Party of Syria kept the story, but changed that date and the type of aircraft involved. All other details (including pilot names) were identical Posted by: Steve 2005-02-14 |
