Reuters: Washington wants to know if Pakistan used U.S.-built jets to down Indian warplane

Pakistan and India both carried out aerial bombing missions this week, including a clash on Wednesday that saw an Indian pilot shot down over the disputed region of Kashmir in an incident that alarmed global powers and sparked fears of a war.
