Daesh shoots down Iraqi fighter plane
(MENAFN- Arab News) BAGHDAD: Daesh said on Thursday it had shot down an Iraqi fighter plane north of the city of Ramadi in Anbar Province.
A member of an anti-Daesh Sunni force called Sahwa (Awakening) said an Iraqi jet a Russian-made Su-25 was seen crashing in flames after being shot down north of Ramadi.
A Daesh Twitter account said the jet had been shot down as it conducted a raid on areas north of Ramadi the provincial capital of Sunni heartland Anbar.
Meanwhile EU counter-terror chief Gilles de Kerchove said that Daesh is recruiting a growing number of very young men and women from Europe despite battlefield setbacks.
In an interview de Kerchove also said there was no intelligence to show that terrorists were slipping into Europe among flows of migrants even if he said they were profiting from people smuggling.
He said: 'According to our estimates 4000 Europeans have joined jihad in Syria.'
Asked about the source of the threat to Europe he said it comes from European fighters who have passports and have not been identified but also from residents in Europe who are radicalized on the Internet. 'For this reason we must develop de-radicalization programs.'
Daesh's 'caliphate' declared a year ago stretches across northern Syria through much of northern and western Iraq. Untold numbers have been killed because they were deemed dangerous to the terror group.
