Are you still wondering why some of us vehemently refused organized religion in any guise. ?
Lt Kasasbeh was captured when his plane came down near Raqqa, Syria, in December on a mission to support the US-led military coalition against IS.
The video posted online on Tuesday was distributed via a Twitter account known as a source for IS propaganda. Jordanian state TV reports that Lt Kasasbeh, 26, was killed a month ago.
The highly produced 22-minute film includes a sequence showing the Jordanian pilot walking at gunpoint amongst rubble apparently caused by coalition air strikes that targeted jihadists.
Jordan reportedly moved six ISIS-linked prisoners to a jail in the south of the country, which is usually used for state executions. It is later understood to have confirmed that al-Rishawi’s execution is scheduled for early tomorrow morning.
Speaking on Jordanian TV this evening, Mamdouh al-Ameri, spokesman for the Jordanian armed forces, confirmed the piloit’s death and vowed revenge.
He said: ‘While the military forces mourn the martyr, they emphasise his blood will not be shed in vain. Our punishment and revenge will be as huge as the loss of the Jordanians.’
Jordan had been attempting to secure Lt Kasasbeh’s release as part of a prisoner swap, offering to free Iraqi militant Sajida al-Rishawi in return for the release of Lt Kasasbeh.
