FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Jordanian government officials confirmed that the Russian-made MiG-21 landed
at the King Hussein Air Base in Mafraq, a northern Jordanian town bordering
Syria. The pilot was said to have flown from al-Dumair military airport
northeast of Damascus and landed at the King Hussein Airbase at 11 a.m.
Syrian state television named the pilot as Colonel Hassan Hamada and said communications
were lost with his plane at 10:34 am while he was on a training mission near
the border with Jordan.
Jordanian Minister of State for Information Samih al-Maaytah confirmed that
the pilot had requested political asylum in Jordan.
King Hussein Airbase, named after the country’s late monarch, is a military
airport situated near the border with Syria, 80 kms (50 miles) northeast of
the capital Amman.
Whilst thousands of soldiers have deserted from the Syrian army since the
start of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad this is the first
involving an aircraft.
A Jordanian official described the defection as “difficult to handle”,
referring to Amman’s nervousness over a possible Syrian military reaction
after months of border tension between the two countries, ignited by
thousands of Syrians fleeing a crackdown on the revolt to Jordan.
