ISIS video shows captured Jordanian pilot being burned alive (see disturbing photos)

The Islamic State insurgent group released a video yesterday showing the brutal murder of 27-year -old a first lieutenant in Jordan's air force Moaz al-Kasasbeh who was captured on Christmas Eve after his F-16 jet crash-landed near the Syrian city of Raqqa, which is held by ISIS. He was burnt alive while locked in a cage. The Jordanian military believe he was killed on Jan. 3rd.

In the footage titled '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.

The Jordanian army said in response to the video that it would avenge Kaseasbeh's death. "The revenge will be as big as the calamity that has hit Jordan," army spokesman Colonel Mamdouh al Ameri said in a televised statement. A government spokesman promised a "strong, earth-shaking and decisive" response.
