Outrage, condemnation follows Jordanian pilot's death

The father of a Jordanian pilot, shown in a video apparently being burnt alive by the self-proclaimed Islamic State, has asked his government to take revenge.

Jordan has executed two Iraqi prisoners in response to the IS killing of captured fighter pilot Muaz al-Kasaesbeh.

The pilot's execution triggered outrage across the Middle East and beyond, with Jordan vowing to boost its efforts to combat IS.
