Jordan welcomes Swedish court's life sentence against Daesh terrorist over pilot's killing
Osama Krayem was implicated in the killing of Al-Kasasbeh, 26, who was burned alive in a cage after being captured in 2014 following his plane's crash in Syria during a mission against the Daesh group.
Mohammad Al-Momani, the Jordanian government's spokesman, added that Jordan fully trusted the Swedish legal and judicial processes that resulted in the decision.
Al-Momani said that Jordanians will always remember the tragic incident and that the ruling is a crucial step toward holding all accountable.
Krayem, a Swedish citizen, is already incarcerated for his involvement in other terrorist attacks in Europe, specifically the Paris and Brussels attacks in 2015 and 2016.
The killing of Al-Kasasbeh shocked Jordanians after Daesh released a gruesome video showing him being burned alive in a cage. The Swedish court said that while the evidence indicated that another person ignited the fire that killed him, Krayem was also implicated in the murder.
