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.
   

Jordan executed two death-row jihadists at dawn on Feb. 4 after vowing an "earth-shattering" response to avenge the burning alive of one of its fighter pilots by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
      

Jordan's government spokesperson said on Jan. 28 his country was willing to hand over an Iraqi would-be-suicide bomber if a Jordanian pilot captured by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) was released.
