IS releases interview with captive Jordanian pilot
2014-12-30
[Ynet] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has published in its monthly English-language magazine an interview with the Jordanian pilot captured last week after his plane crashed in northern Syria.

In his statements in the bully boy group's Dabiq magazine, First Lietuenant Muadh al-Kasasbeh says his F-16 was shot down on Wednesday by a heat-seeking missile near the Islamic State group's de facto capital of Raqqa.

He says he ejected from the aircraft and landed in the Euphrates River, where he was taken captive by IS fighters.

The United States has denied that the Islamic State group shot down the Jordanian aircraft.

#1  There seems to be some chatter about doing some Ottoman level torture to this pilot - as opposed to the more modern butchery they have been performing. The problem ISJV has is that torture not only requires a certain level of will, it also takes a certain level of skill to perform correctly (not that a failure wouldn't be gruesome). The problem the pilot has, is ISJV has not made the headlines in quite a while.
