A new video is reported to have been released
to AP by Boko Haram men showing the
beheading of a man said to be a military pilot
who co-piloted the missing Naval air force jet.
The video also shows burnt out plane parts with
Nigerian military markings. Two pilots and an
Alpha jet have been missing since Sept. 11.

of his death, and the beheading of a man
who identifies himself as the pilot of a
missing Nigerian Air Force jet. It shows
burnt out plane parts with Nigerian
military markings, the first indication that
Nigeria's homegrown Islamic extremists
have the capability to shoot down aircraft.
The man beheaded with an axe identifies
himself as a wing commander, saying he
has not seen his second pilot since the jet
was shot down.
Before his beheading, the pilot reportedly gave
his name, rank and date of birth, which is 1975
and also said

September 11th, I was assigned on a
mission to Kawuri, Borno state. During the
mission we were shot down and our
aircraft crashed. To this day, I don't know
the whereabouts of my second pilot. I was
taken into the care of (Boko Haram). At
the time of the crash, I sustained cuts and
broken hand and some other injuries to
the head.
After saying this, the pilot was forced to the
ground and his head chopped off with a pick
axe. The pilot is said to be a Wing Commander
