Father of Jordanian pilot captured in Syria pleads with ISIS to show mercy and release his son

Pilot

Islamic State terrorists have shot down a Jordanian warplane from the US-led coalition over northern Syria (main) and captured its pilot (top right in white T-shirt), monitors say. The Isis branch in Raqqa published photographs on jihadist websites showing its fighters holding the captured pilot and it named him as Mu'ath Safi Yousef al-Kaseasbeh. His father said that he hoped Isis would be compassionate. He said: 'I pray to God to instill compassion in your hearts.' His plea came as distraught relatives gathered outside the pilot's family home, anxious to hear the latest news about him (bottom right).
