Amman: Jordan has executed Iraqi Sajida al-Rishawi, the female bomber who was sought by the ISIS in return for the hostages today.

The Jordan executed two Al Qaeda jihadists including the female bomber. The executions came in retaliation after the Islamic State released a brutal video of Jordanian pilot being burnt alive. Sajida al-Rishawi was involved in triple hotel bombings in Amman in 2005. 

Jordan had a day earlier pledged a quick and 'earth-shattering' response to the barbaric act of gruesome killing of the Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, who was captured by the ISIS in December last year.

Reacting to the execution of  Sajida al-Rishawi, the Islamic State has threatened that it will retort by invading Japan, SITE Intel Group's head Rita Katz said. The ISIS also said that Sajida's killing would not be considered "victory for Jordan" as the pilot killed several women.
