Jordanian fighter jets have carried out new air strikes, the military said
Thursday, a day after the country's king vowed to wage a "harsh" war against
Islamic State militants who control parts of neighboring Syria and Iraq.
The army statement did not say which country was targeted. Jordan is part of
a U.S.-led military coalition that has bombed IS targets in both countries
since last fall, but until now Jordanian warplanes are only known to have
carried out raids in Syria.
King Abdullah II pledged to step up the fight against the IS 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.
On Thursday, warplanes roared overhead as the king paid a condolence visit
to the family of the pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, in his village in
southern Jordan. The king pointed at the planes as he sat next to the pilot'
s father.
Abdullah has said Jordan's response "will be harsh because this terrorist
organization is not only fighting us, but also fighting Islam and its pure
values."
In a statement Wednesday, he pledged to hit the militants "hard in the very
center of their strongholds."
In Washington, leading members of Congress have called for increased U.S.
military assistance to the kingdom. Currently, the United States is
providing Jordan with $1 billion annually in economic and military
assistance. | l****z
