Murdered pilot's mother collapses and father demands 'annihilation of ISIS' - as Jordan hangs two jihadists in revenge for horror execution video
The mother of the Jordanian pilot burned alive by the Islamic State has reportedly been admitted to hospital hours after horrific video of her son's death emerged.
Issaf al-Kasasbeh is believed to have fainted after learning that her son, Moaz, had suffered such a barbaric killing, according to Jordanian media.
Dr Ali Hamiada, the director of Karak Hospital in Jordan, said her condition was stable.
News of her illness came as her husband Safi al-Kasasbeh demanded a swift and brutal retaliation to his son's murder.

Jordan followed through on its promise to execute two ISIS-linked prisoners, including a would-be female suicide bomber, but Mr al-Kasasbeh said this did not go far enough.
'I demand the revenge be greater than executing prisoners. I demand the ISIS organisation be annihilated,' he said.
'This murderous organisation, made up of militants from all the world countries, is acting in barbaric ways, violating all the international laws, codes of ethics, and prisoners' conventions.
'That is why I strongly demand the government to swiftly take revenge for the blood of Moaz and the dignity of our country,' he told Al Jazeera.
Jordan had vowed a swift and lethal response and government officials this morning revealed that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, have already been hanged.
