even the father of muath al-kaseasbeh was very clear today. he said the only punishment that would satisfactory him he called for the elimination of isis. a few days ago, he was making some questions rewarding what was his son doing there joining the coalition. now obviously this very cruel killing has shifted people's focus and made them more angry at isis. >> the jordanian government had been walking a very tightrope. there was look warm support for jordans participation in the fight against isil. do you think it is just a knee-jerk reaction or is there now more willingness to go into this fight? >> i think if we compare the situation two weeks ago and now definitely there is more support to the government now. even those who were questions jordan's role feel now that jordan needs to act. it needs to defend itself. it cannot stay still with this horrific killing. they want jordan to do something to punish isil. another item that is jordan has always been active in pursuing al-qaeda and affiliated groups in the past even when it did not join

the video showed muath al kaseasbeh was burn eded alive locked inside of a steel cage. for more on this we go to amman, and we go live this hour with many of the jordanians had wanted this, and as they wake up this morning, what this is the reaction there? >> well, it is about 6:00 in the morning here, john and people are going to be waking up to this, and it is running as an urgent banner on the jordanian state television, and we expect that many people will be welcoming of this, and we have heard the calls on this on the streets of amman, and the hometown of the jordanian pilot. and the people have said that they wanted a response and the military and the government said they would retaliate and saying that their revenge would be equal to the tragedy of the jordanian people. what we know so far john prshgs the jor dandanian government, they are saying that two of the people convicted in jordan who were on death row were executed at dan. they are sajida al rishawi, and she is the former member of al qaeda in iraq who was involved in what is described as jordan's 9/11 t

. >> jordan warned of an earth-shaking response to isil's murder of its pilot muath al-kaseasbeh and that response came swiftly. at down on wednesday the authorities executed iraq prisoner sajida al-rishawi whom isil had demanded jordan release. she had been on death row for eight years for taking part in a 2005 attack in amman that killed 60 people. another iraqi prisoner was executed for murdering a jordanian truck driver in iraq. the government confirmed its pilot was killed on january 3, a month before isil released the video, apparently showing him being burned alive. al jazeera will not show those pictures. the jordanian king cut short his visit to washington d.c. but addressed the jordanian people in a statement. >> with sadness and sorrow, we received the news about the martyrdom of our hero muath al-kaseasbeh at the hands of the terrorists and cowardly daish. that criminal and deviate gaining not related to our noble faith in any way our heroic pilot muath defending his home land and nation. >> his father, too shaken after finding his son was killed came out with these stron

we also know that the family of muath al-kaseasbeh is starting to gather. this was also the option that he would be killed. as you saw from the video saying something along the line we have to burn him because he was shelling us and burning us, so there was no option but to kill him basically according to isil. i do know that the jordanian government was ready and willing to hand over sajida al-rishawi, a prisoner in jordan and may be even others, as well in exchange because this became a matter of public opinion in jordan and jordan did what it can, but i think this is a vision within isil, we understand the choice was, we understand there was a decision inside isil trying to make a political gain after the capturing of the pilot who was part of the international coalition, maybe even getting jordan to make concessions by releasing prisoners on death row that isil would have wanted. this could have helped isil gain political capital but then there's this other camp pushing for killing him on the ground, that he is so-called appostate and had to be killed.

muath al kasasbeh was the first member of the u.s.-lecoalition to be captured and -- led coalition to be captured and murdered by isis. the group says it killed two captives from japan. isis also claims to have killed five western captives in recent months. you see them here. a video of the beheading of u.s. journalist james foley was posted on line in august. other videos followed showing the murders of is even sotloff and another journalist british citizens david haines and alan henning, and american peter kassig kassig. >>> jordan swiftly responded to the brutal killing of muath al kasasbeh with the execution of two al qaeda prisoners. joining us with analysis of the regional response to these events is the international security director for the asia pacific foundation. thank you for speaking with us. jordan's execution of these prisoners including sajida al rishawi was swift and designed to appease jordanians who would call for revenge. but was this an appropriate reaction an eye for an eye? >> well certainly it was an emotional

they say they want revenge and they want it to come soon, because they feel that the killing of muath al-kaseasbeh and the manager in which he was murdered has hurt and touched every single jordanian in every single home. now the jordanian army has also said that tens of its own fighter jets and outside the framework of the international coalition against isil has shelled isil targets in iraq and syria on thursday. the army says that all these targets that the shells were destroyed and they include weapons storage facilities as well as training camps. the army said that this is just the beginning and that they will make isil pay for every hair on muath al-kaseasbeh's body. what we expect next is a very active and pronounced role for jordan in the international coalition against isil and it's now even talking about supporting troops fighting isis on the ground, such as the kurdish peshmerga forces, iraqi army and moderate syrian opposition which jordan had been reluctant to as in the past. >> iraq's prime minister promised that his military is close to defeating isil in mosul. that's a

that question, like the really crucial one on whether the , muath al-kaseasbeh is still alive. it is said they are trying to cause problems in jordan. there have been protests against jordan's role in the u.s. coalition fighting isil, but they've been toned right down now in the hope of negotiations for the pilot's release are happening. the issue hasn't gone away, though and until muath al-kaseasbeh has been killed, brought tests are sure to resume. >> over 1300 people in iraq have been killed in the violence alone. according to u.n. figures, more than half of them were civilians. over 2,200 people were also wounded in frequent bombings in other attacks. the capitol baghdad was the worst affected with 256 civilians killed there. >> kurdish and shia commanders deny accusations bringing ethnic divisions back into focus. we have a report now. >> in 2005, he was forced out of his hometown by al-qaeda. ten years later, he is back. he is an iraqi occurred. he took part in the recent battle against the islamic state of iraq and the levant, a formerly al-qaeda-aligned group. isil figh

they've killed two japanese hostages very recently and killed muath al kaseasbeh in a horrifying fashion but they have not done a jump suit video that is a woman. there was a notion to free the two women italian hostages. what do you make on the fact that up until now that this terrorist group that is known for extravagant group for violence has not depicted female hostages. >> they do follow strict islamic video are not shown in videos completely covered and they are not shown in a humiliating way and they are not to harm the women. they are killed a whole bunch of women. whether in in iraq or eastern libya, it has executed women for supposed adultery by stoning them to death. so in a way it is completely contradictory, on one hand they can't show the women on video, but on the other hand they have shown women being stoned to death in pictures. so i think the group is trying to play a propaganda stunt here. >> and that begs the question steve. if this is a sign of weakness that this group would want to put off the death, if they want to do this and nbc and the state department has not v

honestly i saw a report about the repercussions of killing muath al kaseasbeh. if the u.s.isis prisoner would be killed. this is not a surprise. also jordan had to do something in order to show actually syria was serious about the fight in putting them to death and before that people were against the death penalty. that was being put on hold for a few years until last month but many people now are saying oh with it we want to avenge the killing of our hero. so even the voices against the death penalty and some people object to it and the majority are with it. >> that's what some have said. obviously the next step we're reporting that jordan will be taking a more active role in the war specifically stepping up air strikes but i know that tasha, one of your fears is isis potentially launching attacks inside jordan. >> i mean that's many jordanians in jordan and abroad as well. what's happening now is that the war has shifted because it's becoming a personnel war. jordan versus isis and inside jordan after jordan's air strikes so there's this fear and it happened in jordan wit

these were criminals and there's no comparison between them and muath. his blood is more valued than sajida al-rishawi and ziad ziad kaboli. i demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners. i demand that this criminal organization is a nilelized. >> many experts are calling this a tipping point for isis and maybe it will be. i watched the video of the pilot's death and i wish i had not. it did strike me how cowardly this act by isis was setting fire to a man locked in a cage with your faces covered. that's cowardly. what was courageous was this pilot. he accepted his fate without cowering to the terrorists clasping his hands in prayer as flames engulfed his body. he stood strong in the face of ungodly cowardess. that's where we want to start. #we are all moaz. jordan's queen rania joined the campaign tweeting the phrase in arabic. now it's trending heavily across the east. what's next for jordan? >> reporter: that's right. there are protests overnight, but this morning we saw shows of solidarity. people showing up at the airport waiting f

it is also where muath al-kaseasbeh was believed to have been held. it is not clear if that is in fact where he was held, but that is area where he was last crashed when his plane went down. it is an area that isis is particularly strong with. they have an intelligence capability and a lot of expectations that they will expand with their other countries to expand the military intelligence gathering and honestly they are also doing airstrikes that could be expanded. much more than that, it's not really clear what jordan can contribute to the coalition. there are really no countries in the middle east that are talking about a ground invasion. willie the focus of the coalition seems to be the airstrikes. so we are waiting to see if there's any word officially or unofficially in terms of what the next steps are for this military campaign. jenna: certainly one of the big questions of the day. gregg: secretary of state john kerry arriving in kiev today or talks with the president, announcing plans for multibillion dollar aid packages for civilians in the ea
