A day after release of 'ISIS burned alive video,' the Jordanian government has executed two of its al Qaeda captives early Wednesday. The 'ISIS burned alive video,' fueled global outcry and national protests calling for abrupt retaliation.
As a form of vengeance following confirmation of the 'ISIS burned alive video,'the Jordanian government put to death Ziad Karbouli, a previous top supporter to the late leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Sajida al-Rishawi, the Iraqi would-be suicide bomber, whose release ISIS had previously requested., CNN reports.
Based on the statement of Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani, al-Kasasbeh could have been "assassinated" as early as January 3 with the way the 'ISIS burned alive video,' was planned and released it could have taken a month, according to Daily Mail.
Mohammad al-Momani added that in the previous days the government was negotiating for exchange of prisoners, they demanded for proof that the pilot was alive. He warned, "Those who doubted Jordan's power will soon see the proof as well. (Al-Kasasbeh's) blood will not be shed in vain."
ISIS burned alive video shows graphic scenes that are hard to digest. The 22-minute video starts with the Jordan's King meeting with President Barack Obama promising his country's support to fight the ISIS. It also clearly depicts that the Arabs are followers of the West and adversary of the Muslims.
It then showed that the Jordanian pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh held as captive when his F-16 crashed in Northern Syria. Afterwards, a scene showed the pilot was walking around a firing squad. Wearing an orange jumpsuit, he was placed into a metal cage, NPR noted.
The ISIS burned alive video went into slow motion showing one masked man lighted a fuse that burnt the the pilot alive. Islamic chants were heard while the Jordanian pilot was screaming in pain. The last part depicts the burned body of the pilot as he lay lifeless.
The ISIS burned alive video has a title of 'Healing the Believers Chests' that seemed to invite brutal pleasure as you watch the heartbreaking burning of the Jordanian pilot, a statement of revenge for the Islamic State.
However, it can be noticed that the ISIS burned alive video is far different from the usual six previous beheading videos showing British executioner Jihadi John executing captives.
The ISIS burned alive video is highly produced showing multiple camera angles and sound effects, combination of aerial shots, panoramic views that a professional could easily declare that it could have taken longer to edit and release the video.
The extremist declared that the atrocious death of al-Kaseasbeh is revenge as he was blamed for killing babies in Syria and burning houses when he launched airstrikes before he was captured in December.
The release of the ISIS burned alive video came days after ISIS beheaded the second Japanese hostage within the week.
