Islamic State terrorists kills Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh by burning him alive - Jordan in response executes convicted IS prisoners

Jordanian pilot, Flight Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh, was seized by IS fighters after his jet crashed while conducting a bombing mission near their Syrian stronghold of Raqqa on 24 December.

His aircraft was the first from the US-led coalition against IS to be lost over the group's territory since air strikes on its positions in Syria were launched in September.



It is still not clear why the jet crashed - US officials denied IS claims that it was hit by a heat-seeking missile - but Lt Kasasbeh was found by militants and paraded on camera within hours.

A video posted online appears to show Islamic State (IS) burning alive a Jordanian air force pilot captured in Syria in December 2014.
