Jordan to execute failed female suicide bomber at dawn in retaliation

Jordan have said they will execute a failed female suicide bomber at dawn in retaliation for the murder of a Jordanian pilot by IS.

Video footage released by the terror organisation appears to show Muath al-Kasaesbeh being burned alive in a cage.

After hearing of the death, which is thought to have occurred a month ago, Jordan vowed to take revenge.

At one point, the country had offered to swap Sajida al-Rishawi for the safe return of the pilot.

But a security official told the Associated Press she would now be killed. The method of execution in Jordan is hanging.
