ISIS burns Jordanian pilot alive

Beirut, SANA – The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria terrorist organization (ISIS) said Tuesday it has burned alive the Jordanian captive, pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh in a video released the same day.

The video shows a trail of lit gasoline leading to al-Kasasbeh’s cage, which engulfs him in flames.

Al-Kasasbeh was captured by ISIS in December after his F-16 crashed on the banks of the Euphrates River in Syria.

ISIS said last month it would release al-Kasasbeh if Jordan freed terrorist Sajida al-Rishawi, who has been jailed in the Jordanian prisons since 2005.

Shortly after the release of the video, Jordan said al-Kasasbeh was killed exactly one month earlier, 3rd of January and vowed to sentence al-Rishawi to death.
