Amman (AFP) - Jordan executed two jihadist prisoners at dawn on Wednesday after vowing a harsh response to the Islamic State group's murder of a Jordanian pilot, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani said.
Would-be Iraqi female suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi and Iraqi Al-Qaeda member Ziad al-Karboli were executed at 4:00 am local time (0200 GMT), Momani told AFP.
