ISIS Releases Video Showing Jordanian Pilot Being Burned Alive

ISIS Releases Video Showing Jordanian Pilot Being Burned Alive

I can't believe Obama still won't admit they're a terrorist group.

Islamic State militants released a video on Tuesday claiming to show a captive Jordanian pilot being burned alive. Authorities are still working to confirm the authenticity of the video, which was published on the official media arm of ISIS,  al-Furqan Media Foundation. 
The pilot, Lt. Mouath al-Kasaesbeh, was part of a U.S.-led coalition working to undermine the extremist group. He was captured by militants when his plane crashed over Syria in December during a bombing mission. 

The video shows him standing in a cage in an orange jumpsuit, which appears to have been doused with flammable liquid, while a militant lights a torch nearby. 
President Obama immediately commented on the news during a White House event on the Affordable Care Act, saying that it further cemented the "viciousness and barbarity" of the group. 



According to Reuters, the pilot's capture ignited protests in Jordan over the King Abdullah's perceived mishandling of the case. Jordanian armed forces broke the news of the pilot's murder to his family.

The video comes just three days after the release of another ISIS video purporting to show the execution of Japanese prisoner Kenji Goto.
