Pictures published on ISIS's official al Furqan media site apparently show Jordanian military pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive while confined in a cage.
ISIS militants seized al-Kassasbeh after his jet crashed in Syria in December. The terror group said it captured him after he ejected from his crashing F-16 during U.S.-led coalition airstrikes near ISIS's de facto capital, Raqqa.
In January, video messages apparently from ISIS said that al-Kassasbeh would be killed if Jordan didn't release Sajida al-Rishawi, a female jihadist imprisoned in Jordan for her role in a 2005 suicide bombing.
The messages said it would release another ISIS hostage, Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, if Jordan released al-Rishawi, but it said nothing about whether it would free al-Kassasbeh.
Jordan in turn demanded al-Kassasbeh be freed as part of the exchange. On Saturday, a video distributed appeared to show Goto's beheaded body.

It had been reported previously that the Jordanian government pretty much told ISIS "Kill al-Kassasbeh and we'll go right ahead and kill all of your guys we have in prison." Sooooooo this is not going to end well.
Fuck these fucking animals. I am anxiously waiting for the day when the world decides to annihilate them. Everybody hates them. I don't know what we're waiting for. I would absolutely support it. They are disgusting.

Ain't mad at Jordan.
Starting shit with other Arab countries just seems like an all around bad idea.

I hear ya. But the idea of ISIS ramping it up in "retaliation"...I'm terrified of what that even looks like.

I know but I don't know what else we're supposed to do, I also don't think we as in the US will do anything more. But various Arab countries do not play. They will do what we cannot/will not.

May they be brutal assholes. If we are providing aid, may we behave like real G's.

Which makes me wonder why ISIS risked murdering al-Kassasbeh, knowing that the Jordanians and their Middle East allies aren't going to play games. And also, why they burned him alive instead of beheading him.

CNN just reported that this happened on January 3.
Some article called it. These people are not a political group. They are a death cult.
I hate them.
People with a cause and a death wish are the worst. You have to kill them. And they just continue to infect people on youtube and facebook. We are failing at life when people see ISIS acting like right beasts on the TV and they say, "yes, that's me. That's waay better than what I'm doing now!"
It's all the psychopaths and misogynists and pedos uniting under a flag claiming God. Smh

Probably because they view the Jordanians as traitors to Islam for working with the US against them. I assume they've been working on capturing some Saudis and Bahranis

I wonder whether some "rogue" element in ISIS did it. Not because I don't think the overall control structure wouldn't do something that heinous, but their MO is to try to get something in return before they kill someone. If they killed him so soon after capturing him they lost the opportunity to make gains financial or otherwise. The Jordanians have been pretty clear that they hadn't recieved proof of life, which would have been a prerequisite for any kind of negotiation.
From what I've read, ISIS told Jordan they wanted Jordan to release some ISIS fighters they were holding by January 29th or they were going to kill this pilot and one of the Japanese hostages.
