 N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - A Chadian military reconnaissance plane was shot down in eastern Chad on Tuesday, a government spokesman said, and a rebel group claimed responsibility. A government spokesman blamed neighboring Sudan for backing the rebels and said it was "a state of war."
The plane was downed in Chad's volatile east, close to the Sudanese border, government spokesman Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor said at a news conference. He did not provide other details.
"Today we are in a state of war with forces from Sudan," he said. "We consider ourselves under attack by Sudan."
