The cage being lit up by flames
It was revealed this morning that Jordan had carried out its threats by killing two ISIS jihadists. Among the two killed is the would-be female suicide bomber, Sijada al-Rishawi.
The execution happened around 4am local time and came just hours after ISIS released a sickening video showing captured Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan had vowed a swift and lethal response and government officials this morning revealed that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbodi, have already been hanged.
Al-Rishawi had been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens. She was hanged at dawn alongside Ziad al-Karbodi, an Iraq al Qaeda operative, who was convicted in 2008 for killing a Jordanian.
The execution took place at Swaqa prison about 50 miles south of the Jordanian capital of Amman.
The executions took place after gruesome footage emerged showing Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned to death by his captors. The chilling footage, entitled 'Healing the Believers' Chests', shows the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit and seemingly doused in fuel as a trail of petrol leading up to the iron bars of the cage is seen being set alight.
Flames are seen quickly spreading across the dirt to the cage, where they completely engulf the helpless pilot in images that are far too distressing to publish.
Extremists pour debris, including broken masonry, over the cage, which is then flattened by a bulldozer.
