RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): And we turn to Syria.

A Turkish air force jet went down off the Syrian coast today. The office of Turkey's prime minister said Syria shot it down. And late this evening, the Syrian government admitted it did bring down the plane over its own territorial waters.

In a separate development, Syria's government accused rebels of killing more than 25 men. A gruesome video -- we're just showing one still frame -- captured corpses, some in military uniforms, dumped on a road near the northern city of Aleppo. The state-run news agency said the victims were pro-regime gunmen.

Government troops have launched an offensive in recent weeks to take back ground captured by the opposition.

Tracey Shelton of our partner GlobalPost was embedded with a group of rebels recently and filed this report.
