Jordan launches 56 air strikes against Islamic State
Jordan has launched 56 air strikes against Islamic State (IS) group weapons depots, training centres and military barracks since militants released a video of them burning a Jordanian pilot to death, Jordan’s air force chief said.
Jordanian officials have said they would retaliate harshly for the slaying of the pilot, Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who was set ablaze while trapped in a cage.
