Jordan vows to secure release of pilot
约旦誓要确保飞行员安全
Jordan has vowed to do all it can to save its pilot captured by the self-proclaimed Islamic State, after the terrorist group announced they'd beheaded Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.
约旦誓要尽其所能营救被自称伊斯兰国所擒获的飞行员,这个恐怖组织早先曾宣布已将日本人质后藤健二斩首。
In Sunday's video, ISIL makes no mention of the pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh, who was captured in December during a bombing mission against ISIL.
在周日公布的一段的视频中,ISIL组织并未提及飞行员穆阿特·艾尔卡萨贝,他是在去年12月执行轰炸ISIL任务期间被捕。
Jordan says it's willing to swap Sajida al-Rishawi, an Iraqi suicide bomber on death row, for the pilot, but needed to see proof that he's still alive.
约旦方面已经表示愿意用在押伊拉克自杀式炸弹袭击者赛义达·里沙维交换飞行员卡萨贝,但首先需要看到证明他仍然存活。
Al-Kasaesbeh's fate has raised public pressure on King Abdullah over Jordan's role in the US-led military campaign against ISIL, fueling the risk of broader discontent in the country.
卡萨贝的命运引发了国王阿卜杜拉对于约旦在以美国为首打击ISIL的军事行动中所扮演角色的公众压力,而且使得对这个国家不满的情绪继续上涨。
