Meh, I fail to see why this should stop the plan to turn ISIS into blackened glass.

Does this group give the bodies and heads back? I have never read about that.

Im pretty sure death is a better option than to be a woman held by the IS.

No. Also, if you watch the video of how they killed the Jordanian pilot. You can find it online, you will see exactly how they pretty much dispose of the body or some of the bodies.

"Mueller had been working in Turkey assisting Syrian refugees, according to a 2013 article in The Daily Courier, her hometown newspaper. She told the paper that she was drawn to help with the situation in Syria.

“For as long as I live, I will not let this suffering be normal,” she said. “It’s important to stop and realize what we have, why we have it and how privileged we are. And from that place, start caring and get a lot done.”

She was definitely not a troublemaker. We must make sure her death was not in vain, we must make sure IS is wiped out.

@Burning Bush What gives Russia the right to send tanks and what have you into Donbass? The right of might, basically.

I read that Kayla's been held by ISIS since August 2013. So given what we know about ISIS's treatment of women I'd say the Jordan airstrikes just gave her an end to her suffering & a more humane death. This is of course if ISIS is telling the truth. If it is then RIP Kayla.

I really wish the "hearts & minds" people, i.e. the aid workers, etc would get the hell out of that region all together. They don't deserve to die but they are sitting ducks. The only people that need to get in there right now are the kind that carry loaded weapons.

“Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently” (RIBSS) is a gutsy group, good interview with one member here https://news.vice.com/article/raqqa-is-being-slaughtered-silently-and-these-guys-are-risking-their-lives-to-document-it

Various sources are also trying to confirm if female Kurd warrior Hebun Sinya has died in battle, very sad if true.

Really, who believes ISIS' story anymore? The whole world already knows ISIS don't negotiate in good faith. They lied when asking for prisoner exchange for the already-dead Jordanian pilot.

Yeah sure, she died, and the only one in the building? Like ISIS would leave a prisoner alone in a whole building.

And the photo of the demolished building they sent wasn't even smoldering. Sure the building just got bombed recently, and no smoke? Yeah right.

And the impeccable timing of this? Just as Jordan raised a barrage of airstrikes? So the US would blame them?

C'mon, pull the other finger!

These types of collaterals damage are part of all military conflicts. My heart and condolences go out to the families of Kayla Jean Mueller if she is indeed dead. She was probably tortured, raped and had many other horrible things done to her by the sadistic sharia forces that have no respect not only for women but people of other religious and ethic backgrounds.

The only thing that is sure is that she is dead. That she was killed by Jordanians quite unlikely; but of course it is in ISIS interest to milk the death for propaganda purposes. Truth does not exist for ISIS; on public relations.

If you do not stand for this BS, you will fall for anything. Just like the previous ordeal with the two japanese and the jordanian pilot, they all were executed before ISIS came out with their ridiculous demands.This is why they never could provide any proof of life. Knowing that they are now going to feel the wrath of Jordan, the last time they want to do is irk the warhawks in America that is waiting and looking for an excuse to wipe the carpet with these monsters. The killing of a female would blind the American public and allow the hawks to manipulate their goals and aims of a bigger profit while the average person believing it would be just to attack. I say this as I felt for the first one by Chaney and his warmonging goons.The ISIS group is hoping for more free publicity after Japan so gracious did. I do not blame for Japan for it is the same thing each and every country does. It has been learn that do not give them air time or any credibility at all. Unfortunately once again this lady was killed way before those bombs dropped by Jordan. Like a desperate animal trying to get out of a trap, any means necessary and tell the countries we did not kill your citizen your bomb did believing the general public will ask their government to stop bombing. Sorry you scumbags, you made your bed now lie in it.
