IS says US hostage killed in Jordanian airstrikes

The Islamic State (IS) militant group claimed on Friday that an American female hostage was killed by Jordanian airstrikes against IS positions in Syria's northern province of al-Raqqa, a monitoring group reported.

Citing a report posted on Twitter by the IS, the SITE monitoring group said that Kayla Jean Mueller was killed when she was buried beneath the rubble of a building, which had collapsed as a result of a Jordanian airstrikes against IS in al-Raqqa.

The Islamic State (IS) claimed that an American female hostage was killed when a Jordanian aircraft struck the building in which she was located in Syria's ar-Raqqah governorate.

"The failed Jordanian aircraft killed an American female hostage," the IS report was cited by SITE as stating.

The IS report added that "the criminal Crusader coalition aircraft bombarded a site outside the city of al-Raqqa today at noon while the people were performing the Friday prayer. The air assaults were continuous on the same location for more than an hour."

"It was confirmed to us (IS) the killing of an American female hostage by fire of the shells dropped on the site, and she is Kayla Jean Mueller," the IS said.

Jordan has pledged that it would ramp up its attacks against the positions of the IS in Syria in retaliation to the execution of its captive pilot, who was burned alive by the IS and his execution video went viral and stirred wide public rage in Jordan.
