Jordan Threatens To Hang All Daesh Prisoners If Pilot Is Killed

Jordan has threatened to fast-track the execution of a would-be suicide bomber the Islamic State is trying to free if the terror group kills its captured pilot, it was reported today.

The government has apparently warned that Sajida al-Rishawi and other jailed ISIS commanders would be 'quickly judged and sentenced' in revenge for Mu'ath Kaseasbeh's death.

It comes after a deadline for a possible prisoner swap allegedly set by ISIS passed yesterday with no clue over the fate of Kaseasbeh or fellow Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.

Intelligence sources said ISIS's refusal to prove that Kasasbeh was alive meant any deal with the militants was doomed.

Now Jordan has reportedly stepped up its rhetoric by warning of its intent to retaliate if the negotiations end in bloodshed.

1. Can't blame them.

[blm]

2. I think someone killed the hostages too soon and now Daesh are scrambling to find

some way to recover whatever higher ground they like to THINK they are on.

4. Hanging terrorists similar to hanging pirates back in the day.

12. That's an interesting take on it

Pirates, if I remember right, were considered enemies of all mankind and thus condemned by whatever navy happened to capture them.

7. I think I know why it doesn't...

If yr like me, it's got nothing to do with being opposed to the death penalty, but feeling some satisfaction that at last someone's offering to give them a small taste of their own medicine.

I was reading a news article this evening that said Jordan's asking for both the pilot and the Japanese journalist. I hope that's true because when I read earlier this week that Japan had approached Jordan for help and Jordan was only asking for their pilot I was really disappointed in Jordan doing that.

8. exactly, give them a dose of their own conduct, take the gloves off etc nt

6. Can't say I blame Jordan.

Tit for tat.

Give Daesh a deadline and if no response start the executions.

9. Do it NOW!

The bastards slowly beheaded that poor innocent man!

Your Pilot is NOT alive.

10. Should we hang the Gitmo prisoners?

[Nihil]

11. No, just the people who kidnapped them and put them there for years of torture. (n/t)

13. It's probably not a good thing when states start acting like terrorists.

[Dreamer Tatum]

14. Let the terrorists act like a state so the state won't have to act like terrorists. nt
