Breaking:US hostage killed in Jordan revenge strike-ISIS claims


Kayla Mueller
In Jordan's revenge strike carried out today on the stronghold of Islamist Jihadist,ISIS in part of Syria,the sect has claimed that the female US aid worker ,Kayla Mueller  they were holding captive was killed when the Jordanian targeted the building she was kept .This was in an online information released by ISIS showing a picture of a collapsed building where they claim the woman was kept.

But it did not show her or provide any proof of her death.

Jordanian Interior Minister Hussein Majali swiftly and firmly knocked down the report, calling it another "PR stunt" by ISIS.
"They tried to cause problems internally in Jordan and haven't succeeded," Majali said. "They are now trying to drive a wedge between the coalition with this latest low PR stunt."

Previously, ISIS has held a number of hostages from the United States, Britain and Japan. As of now, at least two Westerners are thought to be in its custody: British journalist John Cantlie, who has appeared in a number of ISIS-produced videos, and the American woman, who is a 26-year-old aid worker.

The American's family on Friday identified her as Kayla Mueller, a Prescott, Arizona, native taken captive in 2013 in Aleppo, Syria, while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital. The family communicated through a spokeswoman.
Asked Friday about ISIS's claim of Mueller's death in Raqqa, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said that she could not "confirm those reports in any way."

"Obviously (we are) deeply concerned by these reports," she added. "We have not, at this point, seen anything that corroborates (ISIS's) claims."
