Agony of parents whose son was burned alive: Murdered pilot's mother collapses and father demands 'annihilation of ISIS' - as Jordan hangs two jihadists in revenge for horror execution video
PUBLISHED: 11:03 GMT, 4 February 2015 | UPDATED: 14:11 GMT, 4 February 2015
The mother of the Jordanian pilot burned alive by the Islamic State has reportedly been admitted to hospital hours after horrific video of her son's death emerged.
Issaf al-Kasasbeh is believed to have fainted after learning that her son, Moaz, had suffered such a barbaric killing, according to Jordanian media.
Dr Ali Hamiada, the director of Karak Hospital in Jordan, said her condition was stable.
News of her illness came as her husband Safi al-Kasasbeh demanded a swift and brutal retaliation to his son's murder.
Jordan followed through on its promise to execute two ISIS-linked prisoners, including a would-be female suicide bomber, but Mr al-Kasasbeh said this did not go far enough.
'I demand the revenge be greater than executing prisoners. I demand the ISIS organisation be annihilated,' he said.

'This murderous organisation, made up of militants from all the world countries, is acting in barbaric ways, violating all the international laws, codes of ethics, and prisoners' conventions.
'That is why I strongly demand the government to swiftly take revenge for the blood of Moaz and the dignity of our country,' he told Al Jazeera.
Jordan had vowed a swift and lethal response and government officials this morning revealed that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, have already been hanged.

Al-Rishawi had been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens.
The executions took place after gruesome footage emerged showing Jordanian pilot al-Kasasbeh being torched to death by his captors.
The gruesome death of 26-year-old Lt Al-Kaseasbeh, captured while participating in airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition, sparked outrage and anti-Islamic State group demonstrations in Jordan.
Newspaper headlines warned Jordan 'will take revenge' for his slaying as King Abdullah II, a staunch Western ally, rushed back to his kingdom from Washington.

King Abdullah and President Barack Obama vowed in a hastily arranged White House meeting Tuesday not to let up in the fight against the Islamic State group.
Abdullah has portrayed the campaign against the extremists as a battle over values. In a speech later aired on Jordanian state television, he urged his countrymen to unite.
'It's the duty of all of us to stand united and show the real values of Jordanians in the face of these hardships,' Abdullah said.
U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter Jr, a California Republican, said after a meeting with congressional lawmakers and King Abdullah that the Jordanian monarch had been visibly angry and promised swift and certain retaliation against Islamic State group militants.
'They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had.
'They're starting tomorrow,' Hunter told the Washington Examiner in an interview published online Tuesday night.
Hunter added the king also said: 'The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.'
After word spread that the pilot had been killed, dozens of people chanting slogans against the Islamic State group marched toward the royal palace to express their anger.
Waving a Jordanian flag, they chanted, 'Damn you, Daesh!' - using the Arabic acronym of the group - and 'We will avenge, we will avenge our son's blood.'
Al-Kaseasbeh is from a tribal area in southern Jordan's Karak district. The tribes are considered a mainstay of support for the monarchy, but the pilot's capture has strained that relationship.
During the weeks of uncertainty about the pilot's fate, members of his family had criticized the government's handling of the crisis and Jordan's participation in the anti-Islamic State group alliance.
However, the tone has changed since the announcement of his death, with family members speaking out against the militants and demanding revenge.
The chilling footage, entitled 'Healing the Believers' Chests', shows the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit and seemingly doused in fuel as a trail of petrol leading up to the iron bars of the cage is seen being set alight.
Flames are seen quickly spreading across the dirt to the cage, where they completely engulf the helpless pilot in images that are far too distressing to publish.
Extremists pour debris, including broken masonry, over the cage, which is then flattened by a bulldozer.
The release of the expertly-edited video - which represents a new level of barbarity from a group notorious for its savagery - prompted Jordan to announce it would execute all six prisoners convicted of association with ISIS at dawn today, which is usually at 6.40am (4.40am GMT).
Within an hour of the 22-minute-long video's publication, Jordan had reportedly moved ISIS-linked prisoners to a jail in the south of the country which is usually used for state executions.

This morning, government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani announced that two of those prisoners had been executed.
Al-Rishawi was hanged at dawn alongside Ziad al-Karbouli, an Iraqi al Qaeda operative, who was convicted in 2008 for killing a Jordanian.
The executions took place at Swaqa prison about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of the Jordanian capital of Amman.
At sunrise, two ambulances carrying the bodies drove away from the prison with security escorts.
A security source familiar with the case said: They were both calm and showed no emotions and just prayed.'
It came after Momani vowed that Jordan's response to the pilot's killing would be 'earth-shattering'.
Over the past week, Jordan had offered to trade al-Rishawi, a failed suicide bomber, for the pilot, but froze any swap after saying it had received no proof he was still alive.

The video comes just days after ISIS' British executioner in chief, Jihadi John, savagely murdered Japanese journalist Kenji Goto in a shocking filmed beheading after days of intensive negotiations through intermediaries to save him.
His fate had been linked to that of al-Kassasbeh after he was shown holding a picture of the Jordanian – the only Coalition pilot to have been captured.
On Monday, Jordanian government spokesman Momeni said: 'All state organisations have been mobilised to secure the proof of life that we require so that he can be freed and returned to his home.
'We are still ready to hand over the convict Sajida al-Rishawi in return for the return of our son and our hero.'
He condemned the jihadists' murder of Japanese journalist 47-yer-old Goto after days of intensive efforts through intermediaries to save him, adding: 'We spared no effort, in coordination with the Japanese government, to save his life.'
The release of the horrific footage appears to confirm rumours heard by anti-ISIS activists in the terror group's stronghold Raqqa in early January that the pilot had already been killed by burning.
