Jordan has executed two ISIS-linked Iraqi militants after the terrorist group released an online video purportedly showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive.<\/p>\n

In response to the killing of the 26-year-old pilot, Moaz al-Kassasbeh, Jordanian officials on Wednesday hanged Sajida al-Rishawi, a female terrorist linked to ISIS, and Ziyad Karboli, a senior al-Qaeda operative.<\/p>\n

Rishawi was sentenced to death for her role in attacks on a string of\u00a0hotels\u00a0in the Jordanian capital of Amman in 2005 that killed 60 people.<\/p>\n

Karboli was convicted in 2008 for killing a Jordanian national.<\/p>\n

The 22-minute video, released on Tuesday, showed Kassasbeh dressed in an orange jumpsuit and surrounded by flames of fire inside a metal cage.<\/p>\n

Kassasbeh was captured by ISIS on December 24, 2014, after his F-16 jet crashed while flying over northern Syria on a mission against the terrorists.<\/p>\n

The Jordanian state television said the pilot was killed on January 3.<\/p>\n

The Jordanian government and army have vowed to avenge the pilot’s murder.<\/p>\n

“Jordan’s response will be earth-shattering,” the country\u2019s Information Minister Mohammed Momani said on television.<\/p>\n

“The revenge will be as big as the calamity that has hit Jordan,” army spokesman Colonel Mamdouh al-Ameri said in a televised statement.<\/p>\n

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also censured the apparent execution of the pilot days after the murder of two Japanese hostages by the terrorist group.<\/p>\n

“It was an unforgivable, outrageous act. I strongly condemn it,” Abe said early on Wednesday, adding, “I am infuriated by these inhumane and despicable acts of terrorism.”<\/p>\n

The terrorist group had threatened to execute the captured pilot if Amman failed to hand over Rishawi in exchange for Kenji Goto, a Japanese hostage, by a January 29 deadline.<\/p>\n

ISIS also released a video on Saturday purportedly showing the decapitation of Goto, a week after his friend and fellow captive Haruna Yukawa was killed.<\/p>\n
