    The executions at dawn Wednesday came just hours after Islamic State militants released a video that purportedly showed a captured Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive in a cage.

    Jordan vowed a swift and lethal response.

    Government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, were executed early Wednesday.

    Al-Rishawi has been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens.

    Imagine if Israel had done this after each pali terror attack, and immediately killed pali prisoners! The world would be screaming their condemnations, led by no-good obama, followed by the UN and Europe! Double standards indeed,
