The portrait of Mouath al Kassaesbeh run by his widow. The driver of the Jordanian air force had been captured by the djihadiistes of the Islamic State on December 24 during a mission over Syria before being burnt alive in a cage on Jan. 3, according to Jordanian security sources.
Euronews interviewed the former Jordanian General Fayez al-Doueri why this form of murder, even more brutal than the beheadings?
Fayez Doueri:
"First, because it was in the military, and those executed before him were civilians, journalists and humanitarian. Daesh leaders have asked the question on the first day of the capture driver, what most exemplary way to run the Jordanian driver? And I've read some answers that he had run into "burning", by burning. "
Amman has promised a "telluric" response after the murder of the young driver. King Abdullah denounced an act of "cowardly terrorism" and vowed a relentless war against Islamic State group on its own territory. But how far can the jordanniene army?
Fayez Doueri:
"Jordan will intensify its cooperation with the coalition against Daesh, increasing surgical air strikes against targeted positions or leaders. If Jordan can have specific information. But there is no question for the moment to get into a ground war against the Islamic state group because it would have conditions suitable for this kind of operation and Jordan can not afford for it. To do this would require a pan-Arab and international commitment that does not exist. Jordan can not venture into a war beyond 350 km of the border. "
After welding the Jordanians behind their king, the shock wave caused by the murder spread to all Arab countries. Jordan is not alone in her pain following an event that could mark a turning point in the fight against Daesh.
