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.
