Lt. Moaz Kassasbeh who was
captured 24th December 2014 might have been killed in a new video
footage released by Islamic State of Syria and Levant group (ISIL). The 26 year
old Jordanian was captured when his plane came down in a raid against the
fundamentalists.
The news of the barbaric act by
the ISIL shocked Jordanians and many took to the street vowing to avenge the
blood of the hero.
Jordanian army blurted that
Kassasbeh’s blood would not be shed in vain. The response to his death "will
be proportional to this catastrophe that has struck all Jordanians. His blood
will not be shed in vain," Jordanian army spokesperson said.
ISIL captured him 24 Dec. 2014
The video of the purported
killing showed the first lieutenant burnt alive in a cage.
In the wake of the development,
King Abdullah of Jordan cut his visit to USA.
The US president Barrack Obama
condemned it and said that it is "one more indication of the viciousness
and barbarity" of IS.
"Today
we stand together with the family of Moaz al-Kassasbeh," he said in a
video statement.
"This
will only make us more united and powerful."
The media in analysis of the
video suggested that the young man must have been killed 3 January, 2015 even
before the move to swap prisoners in order to secure his release was on top
gear.
Jordan bid to secure his
release by swapping him with a suicide bomber, Sajida al-Rishaw arrested 10
year agoin Amman, the capital of Jordan.
