ISIS murdered a Jordanian pilot prisoner and released video today.
They torched Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh alive in a cage.
In response to the brutal murder, the Jordanian government moved five ISIS prisoners to a jail in the south of the country.
They will execute the prisoners tonight.
The Daily Mail reported:
The release of the video has prompted Jordan to announce it will execute all prisoners convicted of association with ISIS ‘within hours’. This includes Sajida al-Rishawi – the female failed suicide bomber whom ISIS had originally demanded Jordan release in exchange for Kasasbeh.
Within an hour of the video’s publication, Jordan reportedly moved five ISIS-linked prisoners to a jail in the south of the country which is usually used for state executions.
Kasasbeh was captured by ISIS after his F-16 fighter jet crashed in territory controlled by the militants in northern Syria in December.
ISIS requested the release of Iraqi prisoner Sajida al-Rishawi, a failed suicide bomber, in exchange for the murdered pilot.
