IS hostages: Jordan offers prisoner for captured airman
The authorities in Jordan have offered to free a Iraqi prisoner for a Jordanian pilot held by Islamic State after the group threatened to kill the pilot and another hostage.
On Tuesday, IS published a video where a man claiming to be Japanese captive Kenji Goto said Jordan had 24 hours to free the prisoner.
Otherwise both he and Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh would die, he said.
