WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The Islamic State released an interview with captured Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh and then used Twitter to ask for recommendations on how to execute him. IS refers to Al-Kasasbeh as "murtadd," which means apostate, someone who abandoned religion, in the new issue of the terrorist organization's Dabiq magazine.
"My plane was struck by a heat-seeking missile," the 26-six-year-old pilot said. "The system display ... indicated that the engine was damaged and burning. The plane began to deviate from its normal flight path, so I ejected."
