Jordan still ready to swap jailed militant for pilot

JORDAN says it is still ready to hand over a jailed Iraqi militant to Islamic State in a swap deal if a captured Jordanian pilot is released.

Jordan’s security and military agencies are making constant checks to see whether Muath al-Kasaesbeh is still alive, a government spokesman said yesterday.

Kasaesbeh was captured in December after his F-16 fighter jet crashed in territory controlled by militants in Syria.
