Iraqi Group Claims Credit for Downing of British Plane
Al Jazeera reports on a video received in connection with a claim that an Iraqi militant group shot down the British plane that crashed Sunday, killing 10 soldiers.
The video, issued by the military wing of the 1920 Revolution Brigades, also showed an explosion at a distance and what appeared to be the debris of a plane on the ground. Aljazeera said on Monday it had received a copy of the tape from the group.
British Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon said in a statement: "We are aware of reports that the aircraft may have been shot down, but we are not in a position to come to any conclusions until the investigation is complete."
