Muath Safi Yousef Al-Kasasbeh (Arabic:
معاذ صافي يوسف الكساسبة South Levantine pronunciation: [mʊˈʕaːð-,
mʊˈʕaːz ˈsˤɑːfi ˈjuːsef el kaˈsaːsbe]; 29 May 1988 – c. 3 January 2015)
was a Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot who was
burned to death by ISIS after his F-16 fighter
aircraft crashed over Syria.
His fighter crashed near Raqqa, Syria,
on 24 December 2014 during the military intervention against the
Islamic State. United States and Jordanian officials said that the crash
was caused by mechanical problems, while ISIL claimed that the plane was hit by
a heat-seeking missile.
Daesh held Al-Kasasbeh captive before
killing him in early January 2015. It then conducted negotiations with the
Jordanian government, claiming it would spare Al-Kasabeh's life and free
Japanese journalist Kenji Goto in exchange for Sajida al-Rishawi, a woman
sentenced to death by Jordan for attempted terrorism and possessing explosives.
After the Jordanian government insisted on freeing Al-Kasasbeh as part of the
deal and showing proof that he was alive before it would exchange al-Rishawi,
the ISIS released a video on 3 February 2015 showing Al-Kasasbeh being burned
to death while trapped inside a cage.
Al-Kasasbeh's killing provoked widespread
outrage in Jordan, and condemnation by leading figures of the Islamic world.
