Amman, the Islamic State group released a video that shows the execution of First Lt. Muath al-Kassasbeh being burned by the terrorist group according to Yahoo News.
Early yesterday relatives of the Lt. held his pictures and rallied for the release of the pilot, but their hope was replaced with devastation after the release of the video.
On the video footage released it was seen that the pilot was inside an outdoor jail with his orange jumpsuit that is seemingly soaked in fuel. Later, a member of ISIS lit a trail of the fuel outside the cage leading to the cage where the pilot was set alight as stated by Daily Mail.
As Amman confirmed the death of the 26-year-old pilot, King Abdullah II, the king of Jordan, cut short his visit to Washington and flew back home.
Angry crowds of people gathered at the home of the Jordanian Pilot's family to cry justice for the fallen hero of their nation as reported by ABC News.
The Jordan army vowed to avenge the pilot and revealed this morning that Jordan has already executed two prisoners that have linked with ISIS, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli.
Al-Rishawi has long been on death row for her role in a triple bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens.
Daily Mail reported that the execution happened at dawn local time today after just hours of the release of the execution video as a promised of Jordan for revenge.
US President Obama also commented that if the video turns out to be authentic, it would be an evidence of the group's 'viciousness and barbarity.' Obama also added that the US would be more vigilant and determined to destroy the terrorist group.
