Jordan executed two
al Qaeda prisoners before dawn Wednesday, following through on a promised
strong response to the ISIS killing of pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh, a government
spokesman said.
Put
to death were Sajida al-Rishawi, the Iraqi would-be suicide bomber whose
release ISIS had previously requested, and Ziad Karbouli, a former top aide to
the deceased leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the spokesman
said.
