The Kingdom of Jordan won’t bow down
to Islamic State terrorists. They
can be just as ruthless.
One of the
Islamic State’s hostages is Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who is
being held along with Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. Jordan told the
terrorists that it will summarily try and execute ISIS prisoners in their
control should they murder their pilot.
After the
Islamic State announced they had Jordan’s F-16 fighter pilot and demanded a
prisoner swap with a Thursday deadline, Jordan noted that it required
proof-of-life before it would even consider negotiating, as has been widely
reported.
The Islamic
State was tough — it said if the deadline for releasing the female would-be
suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi, was missed, the pilot would be executed, The
Daily Mail reported Friday.
Elijah
Magnier, chief international correspondent for Kuwait’s Al Rai newspaper, told
MailOnline: ‘I have reliable contact in the Jordanian government who says
a message has been passed to ISIS.
‘It warns
that if they kill the pilot they will implement the death sentences for Sajida
and other ISIS prisoners as soon as possible.’
Shortly
after reports of the ultimatum emerged, Jordan issued a statement saying they
were still waiting for proof that the captured F-16 pilot was still alive.
Al-Rishawi, 44,
is an Islamic State terrorist currently facing death by hanging for an
attempted November 2005 suicide bombing. She was to have conducted one of three
simultaneous attacks, that ended up killing 60.
Her part in the
attack was thwarted when her explosives failed to detonate.
Meanwhile,
President Obama is still learning how to say “Islamic terrorists.”
