“These were criminals and there is no comparison between them and Moath. His blood is more valued than Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad Karbouli,” said al-Kasasbeh’s father, Safi. “I demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners.”
The family of a Jordanian fighter pilot mercilessly killed by ISIS is calling for total revenge.
Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, 27, was burned alive while confined in a cage.
In response, Jordan executed two prisoners — Sajida al-Rishawi, a would-be suicide bomber whose release ISIS had previously demanded as part of a prisoner exchange, and Ziad Karbouli, a former top aide to the deceased leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The pilot’s father is demanding his country do more.“These were criminals and there is no comparison between them and Moath. His blood is more valued than Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad Karbouli,” said al-Kasasbeh’s father, Safi. “I demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners,”I demand that this criminal organization (ISIS) … should be annihilated.”
