Jordan on Tuesday night announced it would execute a female failed suicide bomber and other jihadists in retaliation for the killing of its hostage pilot, Lt Moaz Kasaesbeh, after pictures were posted of him being burned alive.
Officials reacted furiously to the pictures and film, which went beyond anything yet seen in the “execution videos” of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
They were particularly angry as the unusual method of death seemed to confirm reports that he had been killed several weeks ago There had been rumours in early January that he had been burned, and officials said last night they now believed he died on January 3.
That made a mockery of Isil’s demands last week that the woman suicide bomber, Sajida al-Rishawi, be released in return for Lt Kasaesbeh’s safety, as well as the release of Kenji Goto, the Japanese journalist.
