BEIRUT: The Islamic State group has used Japanese hostage Kenji Goto to relay a new threat to kill a Jordanian pilot, unless Amman hands over a female hostage, monitoring group SITE Intelligence said Thursday.
“If Sajida al-Rishawi is not ready for exchange for my life at the Turkish border by Thursday sunset, 29th of January, Mosul time, the Jordanian pilot Mia?dh al-Jasaben will be killed immediately,” Goto said in an unverified audio message distributed by IS-linked Twitter accounts. -AFP
