Jordan: This is just the beginning of the retaliation

Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said his country's strike against Islamic State in Syria on Thursday was just the start of its response to the militant group's immolation of its captured pilot last month....
"It's actually the beginning of our retaliation," Judeh said in an interview with CNN on Thursday. He said his country was "upping the ante" and going after the militants "with everything that we have."

Jordan's military said it had deployed tens of fighter jets against Islamic State in Syria, which included bombing ammunition depots and training camps.

  2. Jordanian air strikes on Islamic State (IS) targets are "the beginning of our retaliation" for the killing of a captured Jordanian pilot, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh has said...

    He told CNN that Jordan was going after IS "with everything that we have".

    Jordan had previously only bombed militant bases in Syria, but Mr Judeh said the raids now expanded into Iraq.

    This comes after IS released a video showing Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned alive in a cage.

    After Thursday's strikes, the Jordanian war planes flew over Lt Kasasbeh's home village.

    Their flight coincided with a visit to the village by Jordanian King Abdullah II, who was meeting the pilot's family...............http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31158919
