Syrian pilot defects to Israel seeks democracy
A Syrian MiG-23 pilot Maj. Mohammed Bassam Adel defected to Israel near Tel Aviv saying he fled to live in a democracy where he could freely express ideas. He landed at a northern Israel airfield after separating from a Syrian jet east of the Golan Heights. Israeli officials formed a team to review the incident and set a Monday deadline for findings. Adel stated he planned the move for months, hid it from others, and hopes to reunite with his family someday. He reported a difficult crossing with border missiles and no radio contact, but was welcomed by Israelis and plans a new life.
