“The young American hostage who Daesh says was killed in a Jordanian air strike was condemned to death by the militant group last year, according to an American activist. Daesh seized aid worker Kayla Mueller in 2013 in northern Syria and initially gave her a ‘life sentence’ in retaliation for the jailing in Texas of a Pakistani woman whose case is a well-known cause among Islamist militants, said activist Mauri Saalakhan, who leads a US campaign to free the Pakistani.”
