Jordan to execute 'within hours' female prisoner ISIS wanted released

February 04, 2015 02:11

Reuters is reporting citing a security source that Jordan will execute "within hours" jailed woman militant Sajida al-Rishawi whom Islamic State had sought to swap for Yousef Al-Kaseasbeh.

Sajida al-Rishawi was sentenced to death by a Jordanian court following her role in the deadly 2005 attack on Amman's Radisson SAS Hotel.

Jordan had indicated throughout the week that it was willing to release al-Rishawi, but the government in Amman insisted on receiving proof that al-Kaseasbeh was alive.
