Isis burn Jordanian hostage alive What we do and do not know

Dina RickmanFeb 04, 2015 A video published online by Isis militants on Tuesday shows Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh being burned alive. Authorities in Jordan now say they have executed two militants - one of them Sajida al-Rishawi, a female prisoner sought by Isis.

Here is what we know

The video shows a man believed to be al-Kasaesbeh in an orange jumpsuit standing upright in a cage. It is 20 minutes long and features the slick production and graphics used in previous videos released by the group. al-Kasaesbeh, 26, was captured by Isis (who sometimes call themselves the Islamic State) in December. Last week Jordan's government said it was willing to trade Sajida al-Rishawi, an al-Qaeda prisoner, for the pilot, but that it wanted proof of life first. But a scroll on Jordanian TV said that the pilot was killed on January 3. Jordan has now executed al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouly, who has also been linked with al-Qaeda. The footage comes days after the murder of freelance journalist Kenji Goto by Isis. Reacting to the murder, David Cameron said it would "only strengthen our resolve to defeat Isis".

What we don' t know

When al-Kasaesbeh was killed. The uncertainty over the date al-Kasaesbeh was murdered raises questions over whether any of the hostage negotiations last week were sincere. Where the video was shot and by whom. The identity of the killers in the video and whether an Isis fighter with a British accent who became known in the media as 'Jihadi John' after previously featuring in such films, was one of them.
