Nigeria Jet Used In Bombing Operations Against Boko Haram Goes Missing

A Nigerian air force Alpha Jet with tail number
466 has gone missing from the radar.
Nigerian defense sources said the jet disappeared
from the radar around Adamawa state after it
went for routine operations on Friday against
Islamist militants Boko Haram, who had been on
the rampage in the northeastern parts of Nigeria.
The jet is the only known functioning jet engaged
in operations against the militants.
The Nigerian defense also said it is also looking
for two fighter pilots that were operating the jet
when it disappeared from the radar. It is not
known if militants shot down the jet.
