Jordan has made good on its vow to execute the Iraqi woman ISIS had sought in a prisoner swap as retaliation for the execution of pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh.
Officials say failed suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi was hanged at
dawn along with Ziyad Karboli, a top Iraqi al-Qaeda operative, Reuters reports. Jordan had said it was willing to trade al-Rishawi,
who was sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 hotel bombing, for
the captured pilot, but the country demanded to see proof he was still
alive. Officials now believe he was already dead when negotiations were
taking place and the horrific video of the pilot being burned alive in a
cage was made on Jan. 3, less than two weeks after his capture, reports
the New York Times.
