The paper quoted senior air forces sources as it being two Syrian Mig 29s but stressed they DIDN'T enter Cypriot airspace and hence weren't intercepted. Interesting this should come out a week after the event. I don't regard the Star as the font of all knowledge but would one of their journos just make this up when they probably don't know a mig from a moulinex. Why would Assad want to rattle our cage when weve safely voted ourselves out of the picture and are official releases more speculative than this rumour network?
