Jordan hangs 2 Iraqi terrorists for the killing of pilot

Amman

JORDAN hanged two Iraqi terrorists on Wednesday including a female militant in response to an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive by the hardline group.

The ISIS had demanded the release of the woman, Sajida Al-Rishawi, in exchange for a Japanese hostage whom it later beheaded. Sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack in Amman, Al-Rishawi was executed at dawn, a security source and state television said.
