Jordan to execute militant following IS murder video
2015-02-04
[MAANNEWS.NET] Jordan will execute Wednesday an Iraqi woman on death row over a failed bombing after having vowed to avenge the murder of a Jordanian pilot by 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....
krazed killers, an official said.

"The sentence of death pending on ... Iraqi Sajida al-Rishawi will be carried out at dawn," the security official said on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
Rishawi, the would-be jacket wallah, was condemned to death for her participation in deadly attacks in Amman in 2005, and IS had offered to spare the life of the Jordanian fighter pilot, Lieutenant Maaz al-Kassasbeh, if she were released.

"Jordan's response will be earth-shattering," Information Minister Mohammed Momani said earlier on television, while the army and government vowed to avenge the pilot's murder.

Earlier Tuesday, IS released a video Tuesday purportedly showing a captive Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive, in the krazed killers' most brutal execution yet of a foreign hostage.

The highly produced 22-minute video released online showed images of a man purported to be First Lieutenant Maaz al-Kassasbeh, who was captured in December, engulfed in flames inside a metal cage.

Amman confirmed the death of the 26-year-old, while the video's authenticity has still not been verified, and vowed an "earth-shattering" response.

The military warned that "the blood of the martyr will not have been in shed in vain and ... vengeance will be proportional to this catastrophe that has struck all Jordanians."

State television said Kassasbeh had been killed Jan. 3, before IS offered to spare his life and free a Japanese journalist in return for the release of a female would-be suicide bomber on death row in Jordan.
