The Islamic State terror organization has executed Jordanian pilot 1st Lt. Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh, who was taken prisoner in Syria last week, according to a report this morning (Friday) by the Lebanese Al Mayadeen news agency.
Last week the Islamic State boasted it had brought down a fighter jet over northern Syria, taking the pilot prisoner. While Jordanian sources confirmed the report, US sources denied it, saying that the plane had crashed.
