ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Television footage released by Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency appeared to show two pilots parachuting out of a jet downed near the Turkish-Syrian border on Tuesday. Turkish F-16 fighter jets shot down the war plane, of unknown origin, after it violated Turkish air space close to the Syrian border and ignored warnings, a Turkish military official told Reuters.
