The parents of a US hostage who Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant jihadists said died in a coalition airstrike said on Feb. 6 they were "hopeful" she was still alive and asked her captors to contact them.
 

First of all, this was a ?cover-up operation? for ISIL, trying to whitewash its defeat in Kobane two weeks ago. By increasing the level of its barbarism and creating a much larger wave of shock, it was able to jog people?s memories again about its supposed ?invincibility.?

Another aim was to attract more jihadists from around the world by widening the horrifying effect.

Jordan said air strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are only the start of its retaliation for the burning alive of one of its pilots, vowing to "eradicate" the jihadists.
      
Jordan's military said "dozens of jet fighters" struck ISIL targets on Thursday, hitting militant training camps as well as weapons and ammunition depots.
      

Jordan has deployed tens of fighter jets to bomb targets of the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq, officials say.

The military has vowed to continue with the attacks to bring IS to its defeat after the death of Moaz al-Kassabeh, a captured Jordanian military pilot who was burned alive, with IS members taking footage of their actions.

Jordan weighed its next move Feb. 5 against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) after vowing a harsh response to the burning alive of a fighter pilot, whose family called for the jihadists to be "destroyed".
      

Jordan's King Abdullah vowed a "relentless" war against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on their own territory on Feb. 4 in response to a video published by the hard-line group showing a captured Jordanian air force pilot being burned alive in a cage.
   

The Jordanian government executed two Iraqi jihadists early on Feb. 4, hours after the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) burned alive Muath al-Kasaesbeh, a Jordanian Air Force pilot who was captured in Syria in December 2014 after his F-16 crashed.

The brutal murders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have prompted Islamic-style reactions - including execution of its members and calls for more violence against the jihadists.

Turkey has strongly condemned the killing of a Jordanian pilot, who was apparently burnt to death by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadists, vowing full support in the fight against terror with Jordan and the international community.
