AFP: Moscow demands arrest of rebel for 'murder' of Russian warplane pilot
Moscow on Wednesday called for Ankara to arrest a rebel it claims killed the pilot of the Russian jet downed by Turkey last month on the Syrian border.
"We demand that the Turkish authorities take immediate steps to apprehend Alparslan Celik and his accomplices and bring them to justice for the murder of the Russian pilot," foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
In an interview published Sunday in Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Celik -- a Turkmen rebel and citizen of Turkey -- said that his "conscience cannot be bothered by a person who threw bombs at Turkmen civilians every day," referring to the slain Russian pilot.

In Celik's defense, the US (especially, but also others) routinely kills "militants" and "suspected militants" every day, as well as the people around them. When you get war, you get the whole package of abuses -- rape, kidnapping, murder, imprisonment, torture ... the list goes on. This includes drone rocket killings based only upon behavior patterns, and approved by the US president.
Teddy KGB...
