CNN: ISIS Militants Capture Jordanian Pilot, May Have Shot His Aircraft Down

ISIS captures Jordanian pilot flying for U.S.-led coalition (CNN)

For the first time since a United States-led international coalition began airstrikes against the extremist group ISIS, a coalition pilot was brought down and has been taken captive.

The captured F-16 pilot is Moaz al-Kasasbeh, a member of Jordan's military, according to his uncle, retired Jordanian Maj. Gen. Fahd al-Kasasbeh. Al-Kasasbeh's capture is a frightening reminder that it could have been any pilot downed and taken, including one from the United States which is flying F-16s in the area, too.
