Jordan Launches Airstrikes on ISIS After King Vows Revenge

Jordanian fighter jets have carried out new air strikes against Islamic State militants, a day after the country's king vowed to wage a "harsh" war against the extremist group that controls parts of neighboring Syria and Iraq. The army statement, released on Thursday, did not say which country was targeted. Jordan is part of a U.S.-led military coalition that has bombed ISIS targets in both countries since last fall, but until now Jordanian warplanes are only known to have carried out raids in Syria. King Abdullah the Second pledged to step up the fight against the I-S group after the militants burned a captive Jordanian pilot in a cage and released a video of the killing earlier this week. The images have sent waves of revulsion across the region. http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable... http://www.wochit.com
