Riyadh, Sha'ban 1, 1436, May 19, 2015, SPA -- The body of Moroccan Pilot First Lieutenant Yassin Bahti arrived today in Rabat, Morocco. The pilot's aircraft went down after conducting an air strike launched by the coalition forces on 23:36 on Sunday, May 10, 2015. Since the first moments of the crash, a working team was formed comprising Saudi Ministry of Defense, Moroccan Ministry of Defense and the Red Cross in order to search for the body. When the body was found, the pilot's family requested the transfer of the body to Morocco. The transfer was made through Djibouti. Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Crown Prince, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Defense, has issued directives to treat the Moroccan martyr the same as a Saudi martyr, financially and morally. --SPA 17:11 LOCAL TIME 14:11 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
