Go Jordan! That's the way you deal with bloodthirsty savages like ISIS.
As responses to terrorism go, this one communicates commitment. After ISIS released video of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeās murder by immolation ā which apparently happened weeks ago ā the kingdom of Jordan has announced that all jihadist prisoners will be executed as soon as possible, beginning at dawn tomorrow with the woman ISIS wanted released:
Jordan will execute Wednesday an Iraqi would-be suicide bomber on death row and other jihadists after having vowed to avenge the murder of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic State jihadists, an official said.
āThe sentence of death pending on⦠Iraqi Sajida al-Rishawi will be carried out at dawn,ā the security official said on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Rishawi, the would-be bomber, 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.
āThe death sentence will be carried out on a group of jihadists, starting with Rishawi, as well as Iraqi Al-Qaeda operative Ziad Karbuli and others who attacked Jordanās interests,ā the security source said.
āJordanās response will be earth-shattering,ā Information Minister Mohammed Momani said earlier on television, while the army and government vowed to avenge the pilotās murder.
