One of the world's most volatile
regions was roiled further Tuesday when Turkey shot
down a Russian warplane near the Turkish-Syrian
border. Turkey said it hit the plane after it repeatedly
violated Turkey's airspace and ignored 10 warnings.
Turkey and Russia exchanged bellicose language after the downing of the plane, raising fears in the international community that the brutal Syrian conflict could spiral into something much wider. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the downing of the Russian plane a "stab in the back that will have serious consequences for Russia's relationship with Turkey."
