of Jordanian Pilot', the crowd can be seen cheering and shouting

members of the crowd - including smiling young children (left) - are
asked for their views on the atrocity.

A
sickening video showing cheering crowds of ISIS supporters watching the
barbaric murder of a Jordanian pilot on specially erected giant screens
also features a smiling child telling an interviewer: 'I would've burnt
him [Moaz al-Kasasbeh] with my own hands.'
Filmed
in the terror group's de facto capital Raqqa, the four minute clip is
titled 'Muslims' Joy at Burning of Jordanian Pilot' and was released
this afternoon.
The
crowd can be heard cheering and shouting religious slogans as the
airman goes up in flames, before an interviewer asks for their views on
the atrocity, which has been widely condemned as one of the most
sickening acts ever committed to film.
Among
those questioned is a child who appears no more than eight-years-old.
He is seen smiling and talking vividly about the murder, while
eulogising about ISIS and their barbaric acts.
Jordan's
King Abdullah II today returned home after cutting short a visit to the
US where he was when news broke that the pilot had been savagely
murdered.
'We
are waging this war to protect our faith, our values and human
principles and our war for their sake will be relentless and will hit
them in their own ground', he said.

Horror: Among those watching the
atrocity on Raqqa's giant screens was this child, who appears no older
than eight. He is seen smiling and talking vividly about the murder,
while eulogising about ISIS and their barbaric acts and telling an
interviewer: 'I would've burnt him [Moaz al-Kasasbeh] with my own hands'
Support: The
video shows crowds of Islamic State supporters cheering the barbaric
murder of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh on specially erected giant
screens in the terror group's de facto capital Raqqa
Broadcast: The
four minute video, which appears to be an official ISIS release, shows
young men and children gathering in the busy streets of the city to
watch footage of Kasasbeh being burnt alive by terrorists
The
short video is filmed in a documentary style using HD cameras and
contains logos and slogans associated with ISIS' self-styled media
centres.
It
begins with a short interview with a man who identifies himself as a
fighter with the terror group, before going on include short exchanges
with members of the local population.
While
the interviews take place footage from Kasasbeh's original murder video
are seen being played to large crowds in the background. As those being
interviewed are not paying attention to the video, it is likely the
gruesome execution is being broadcast on a loop in the city centre.
Even
by ISIS' barbaric standards, the terror group's latest execution video -
which lasts 22 minutes and was released yesterday afternoon - reached a
truly depraved new low.
Kasasbeh
is believed to have been killed a month ago but ISIS only released
footage of his agonising death yesterday, drawing widespread
condemnation from across the world.
Jordan responded by hanging two jihadists.
As
with previous beheading videos featuring British executioner Jihadi
John, the footage is characterised by its slick production values and
graphics.
But
unlike the others, it contains an added cinematic dimension designed to
achieve unparalleled impact on the viewer - as if the horror of
watching someone torched to death wasn't enough.

Militants fighting for the Islamic
State in Syria and Iraq yesteday released the video showing Jordanian
pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned alive while locked in a cage
Brutal: The footage, which is titled
'Healing the Believers Chests', shows the captured airman wearing an
orange jumpsuit as a trail of petrol leading up to the cage is seen
being set alight

ISIS blames the F-16 fighter pilot for burning houses - and killing babies - with airstrikes before he was captured in December.
The
manner of his death is a symbolic show of strength to strike terror
into 'non-believers' and encourage recruits or doubters within their
ranks in equal measure.
This
morning it emerged that the mother of the Jordanian pilot was
reportedly admitted to hospital hours after the horrific video of her
son's death emerged.
Issaf
al-Kasasbeh is believed to have fainted after learning that her son,
Moaz, had suffered such a barbaric killing, according to Jordanian
media.
Dr Ali Hamiada, the director of Karak Hospital in Jordan, said her condition was stable.
News of her illness came as her husband Safi al-Kasasbeh demanded a swift and brutal retaliation to his son's murder.
Jordan
followed through on its promise to execute two ISIS-linked prisoners,
including a would-be female suicide bomber, but Mr al-Kasasbeh said this
did not go far enough.
'I demand the revenge be greater than executing prisoners. I demand the ISIS organisation be annihilated,' he said.

footage to be genuine and that the man branded a 'hero' in his homeland
was dead

'This
murderous organisation, made up of militants from all the world
countries, is acting in barbaric ways, violating all the international
laws, codes of ethics, and prisoners' conventions.
'That
is why I strongly demand the government to swiftly take revenge for the
blood of Moaz and the dignity of our country,' he told Al Jazeera.
Jordan
had vowed a swift and lethal response and government officials this
morning revealed that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad
al-Karbouli, have already been hanged.
Al-Rishawi
had been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the
Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens.
The
executions took place after gruesome footage emerged showing Jordanian
pilot al-Kasasbeh being torched to death by his captors.
The
gruesome death of 26-year-old Lt Al-Kaseasbeh, captured while
participating in airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition, sparked outrage and
anti-Islamic State group demonstrations in Jordan.
Newspaper
headlines warned Jordan 'will take revenge' for his slaying as King
Abdullah II, a staunch Western ally, rushed back to his kingdom from
Washington.

King
Abdullah and President Barack Obama vowed in a hastily arranged White
House meeting Tuesday not to let up in the fight against the Islamic
State group.
Abdullah
has portrayed the campaign against the extremists as a battle over
values. In a speech later aired on Jordanian state television, he urged
his countrymen to unite.
'It's
the duty of all of us to stand united and show the real values of
Jordanians in the face of these hardships,' Abdullah said.
U.S.
Representative Duncan Hunter Jr, a California Republican, said after a
meeting with congressional lawmakers and King Abdullah that the
Jordanian monarch had been visibly angry and promised swift and certain
retaliation against Islamic State group militants.
'They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had.
'They're starting tomorrow,' Hunter told the Washington Examiner in an interview published online Tuesday night.
Hunter added the king also said: 'The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.'

After
word spread that the pilot had been killed, dozens of people chanting
slogans against the Islamic State group marched toward the royal palace
to express their anger.
Waving
a Jordanian flag, they chanted, 'Damn you, Daesh!' - using the Arabic
acronym of the group - and 'We will avenge, we will avenge our son's
blood.'
Al-Kaseasbeh
is from a tribal area in southern Jordan's Karak district. The tribes
are considered a mainstay of support for the monarchy, but the pilot's
capture has strained that relationship.
During
the weeks of uncertainty about the pilot's fate, members of his family
had criticized the government's handling of the crisis and Jordan's
participation in the anti-Islamic State group alliance.
However,
the tone has changed since the announcement of his death, with family
members speaking out against the militants and demanding revenge.
