YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Jordan is holding on to an Iraqi prisoner whom ISIS hoped to exchange for a Japanese journalist and a Jordanian pilot on Jan. 29. The deadline for the swap, set for sunset, has passed. Government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani told Reuters: "We want proof... that the pilot is alive so that we can proceed with what we said yesterday – exchanging the prisoner with our pilot." Jordan's prisoner, Sajida al-Rishawi, is on death row for her role in a suicide-bomb attack that killed 60 people in Amman.
