(29 Jan 2015) The father of the Jordanian pilot captured by the Islamic State group on Thursday appealed to his son's captors to release him.
Speaking at a council of tribal members in Amman, Safi al-Kaseasbeh said the Islamic State group would win the appreciation of all Jordanian and Palestinian Muslim tribes if they released his son, Jordanian pilot, 1st Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh.
The Jordanian government, meanwhile, has demanded proof from Islamic State militants that the pilot was still alive, despite purported threats by the group to kill the airman at sunset unless an al-Qaida-linked prisoner is freed from death row in Jordan.
The militants' deadline passed without word on the fate of al-Kaseasbeh and fellow hostage, Japanese journalist, Kenji Goto.
The purported threat to kill the pilot came in an audio message posted online late Wednesday.
