A Jordanian government spokesman announced early on Wednesday that Jordan had executed two prisoners.
The IS group had offered to trade Kasaesbeh, who was taken hostage by IS group militants in Syria in December when his Jordanian F-16 crashed near Raqqa, for Rishawi, but Jordan had insisted it would first need proof that the pilot was still alive.
Shortly after details of the pilot’s death emerged on Tuesday, however, Jordan’s state broadcaster announced that Kasaesbeh had been killed already on January 3 – raising questions over whether any of the hostage negotiations had ever been sincere.
Jordan then vowed to deliver a "strong, earth-shaking and decisive" response to avenge the pilot’s murder.
