Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq have released a video they claim shows Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive while locked in a cage.
The footage, which is titled 'Healing the Believers Chests' appears to show the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit as a trail of petrol leading up to the cage is seen being set alight. Flames are seen quickly spreading to the cage where they engulf the helpless pilot. MailOnline has opted not to publish any pictures of the pilot's final agony. The release of the video tonight prompted Jordan to announce it will execute all prisoners convicted of association with ISIS 'within hours'. This includes Sajida al-Rishawi - the female failed suicide bomber whom ISIS had originally demanded Jordan release in exchange for Kasasbeh. Within an hour of the video's publication, Jordan reportedly moved five ISIS-linked prisoners to a jail in the south of the country which is usually used for state executions.
