Alwaght- The 22-minute video, which surfaced on social media on Tuesday, showed the pilot, Moaz al-Kassasbeh, burned to death.
The pilot was seen dressed in an orange jumpsuit and surrounded by flames of fire inside a metal cage.
Kassasbeh was captured by ISIS on December 24, 2014, after his F-16 jet crashed while flying over northern Syria on a mission against the terrorists.
The Jordanian state television had earlier stated that the pilot was killed on January 3. However, Amman on Sunday pledged to save the soldier after ISIS declared decapitation of a Japanese hostage.
Jordan “will do everything it can to save the life and secure the release of its pilot,” Jordanian government spokesman, Mohammed al-Momeni, said.
“All state organizations have been mobilized to secure the proof of life that we require so that he can be freed and returned to his home,” Momeni added.
The terrorist group had threatened to execute the captured pilot if Amman failed to hand over Sajida al-Rishawi, a female terrorist linked to ISIS, in exchange for the Japanese hostage by a January 29 deadline.
After the video was released on Tuesday, reports said the Jordanian government has decided to execute Rishawi along with five other terrorists affiliated with ISIS.
The terrorist group also released a video on Saturday purportedly showing the decapitation of the Japanese hostage, Kenji Goto.
Momeni condemned the beheading, saying, “We spared no effort, in coordination with the Japanese government, to save his life.”
The ice of silence has been broken
Surprisingly this time the murder of the Jordanian Pilot by the Takfiri group ISIS drew condemnations by several countries across the world on Wednesday.
Many critics says ISIS’s barbaric actions were not confronted with at least any appropriate condemnation or criticism from the West and Arab leaders, which made ISIS dare for more violence and terrorism.
This time Barack Obama said the US and its anti-ISIS coalition partners would “redouble” their determination to defeat the Takfiri group, but US officials said they did not envision any expansion or change in the current strategy.
Also the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, condemned the killing and reaffirmed his nation's commitment to fighting terrorism and extremism.
"This heinous and obscene act represents a brutal escalation by the terrorist group, whose evil objectives have become apparent," he said.
The UAE is one of the most visible Arab members in the US-led coalition, which also includes Jordan.
Bahrain denounced the killing as "despicable," and Kuwait's emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, blasted the killing as "criminal" and "vicious."
Qatar's Foreign Ministry also condemned it, saying it was "a criminal act contravening the tolerant principles of the Islamic faith, human values and international laws and norms."
It has been realized that all those Western and Arab leaders just woke up after a long time of silence. These sudden condemnations summing up with the sense of fabrication of the video released by ISIS, lets the analysts speculate a new agenda being written for anti-ISIS movements led by the US and its coalition partners.
