IS releases interview with captive Jordanian pilot
The Islamic State group has published in its monthly English-language magazine an interview with the Jordanian pilot captured last week after his plane crashed in northern Syria.
In his statements in the extremist group's Dabiq magazine, First Lietuenant Muadh al-Kasasbeh says his F-16 was shot down on Wednesday by a heat-seeking missile near the Islamic State group's de facto capital of Raqqa.
He says he ejected from the aircraft and landed in the Euphrates River, where he was taken captive by IS fighters.
The United States has denied that the Islamic State group shot down the Jordanian aircraft.
