Father urges IS to show mercy for captured Jordan pilot
The father of a Jordanian pilot seized by Islamic State militants in Syria has renewed a plea for his release, the BBC reported.
Describing his son as "a guest among brothers of ours in Syria Islamic State", Youssef al-Kasaesbeh urged his "hosts" to "treat him well."
Lt Moaz al-Kasaesbeh was captured after his jet crashed in north-eastern Syria on Wednesday during a bombing mission.
Jordan is one of four Arab states in a US-led coalition that has launched air strikes on IS in Syria.
So far, the militants have not commented on the fate of the 26-year-old pilot.
It is still unclear what caused his plane to crash near the IS stronghold of Raqqa.
IS said it shot it down with a heat-seeking missile. However, the US says "evidence clearly indicates" that this is not true.
On Thursday Moaz al-Kasaesbeh's father said: "I direct a message to our generous brothers of the Islamic State in Syria to host my son... with generous hospitality."
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Jordanian military said it held IS and its supporters "responsible for the safety of the pilot and his life."
