Saudi T.V. station El Arabiya has said it will soon release a number of secret documents containing information on the downed Turkish jet, daily Hürriyet has reported.

Details of the documents will be featured in a 12-episode series, airing over a period of 4 months.

Turkish military officials claim that a Turkish F-4 jet was shot down in international waters on June 22 by a Syrian air defense missile that did not directly hit the plane, but still caused it to crash into the Mediterranean Sea.
