ISIS claims that US Hostage killed in Jordanian Airstrikes
The Islamic State has made a claim that Jordan's recent bombings in northern parts of Syria which were in retaliation to the burning alive of the Jordanian Air Force Pilot, Moaz al-Kasasbeh, has killed the American hostage ISIS had in captivity in the area.
A message was intercepted by the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks jihadist activity, which said that the American hostage, a woman, was killed when the airstrikes hit Raqqa. It quoted the message as “The failed Jordanian aircraft killed an American female hostage.....”
There are reports that Jordan will continue with more strikes to damage ISIS interests and that its King, King Abdullah, may take part in military campaigns against the Islamic State. The airstrike missions have been named by Jordan as "Moaz al-Kasasbeh", in honour of the slain air force pilot.
