Seized Syrian jet said to carry comm. gear ANKARA, Turkey, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- A Syrian passenger plane grounded for 8 hours by Turkey was carrying military communication devices destined for Damascus, CNN's Turkish channel reported. The Syrian Air A-320 Airbus jetliner with 35 passengers, en route from Moscow, was carrying 12 large parcels found to contain the devices, which Turkish authorities confiscated, CNNTurk reported. No arms or munitions were found, the network said. Turkish news channel NTV said the confiscated cargo was believed to include missile parts, while state-run Turkish Radio and Television reported the cargo was communications equipment. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said without elaborating that Turkey seized "objectionable" cargo, the semiofficial Anadolu Agency reported. "There are items that are beyond the ones that are legitimate and required to be reported in civilian flights," he said. There are items that we would rate as troublesome. The jet was allowed to depart Esenboga International Airport in Ankara around 2:30 a.m. local time Thursday (7:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday), officials said. It had been forced to land in Ankara by two Turkish F-16 warplanes that were rapidly deployed to meet the aircraft around 6:30 p.m. Anadolu said Turkish officials suspected its cargo contained weapons and ammunition. The Russian Embassy in Ankara demanded Turkey explain the circumstances of the forced landing, Russia's non-governmental Interfax news agency reported. Davutoglu said "the incident would not affect Turkish-Russian relations at this point," Anadolu reported. Ankara warned Turkish airlines to avoid using Syrian airspace in case of possible retaliation from Damascus, NTV said.
