Jordan executes Jihadists

AMMAN: Jordan executed two Iraqi Jihadists, including a female would-be suicide bomber, on Wednesday in response to the burning alive of one of its fighter pilots by the Islamic State group.
The gruesome murder of airman Maaz al-Kassasbeh triggered condemnation from governments across the Middle East, while a top Muslim body called for the killing or crucifixion of IS militants.
Jordan said it hanged female militant Sajida al-Rishawi and al-Qaeda member Ziad al-Karboli — who were both on death row — before dawn at a prison south of the capital.
Amman had promised to begin executing Islamic extremists in response to the murder of Kassasbeh, who was captured by IS when his plane went down in Syria in December.
