<\/strong> A man purported to be Islamic State captive Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh is seen standing in a cage in this still image from an undated video filmed from an undisclosed location made available on social media on February 3, 2015.(Reuters)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Jordanian pilot filmed being burned to death was heavily sedated so he would not scream as flames consumed his body, it has emerged.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The horrific execution of\u00a0Moaz al-Kasasbeh shocked the world when Islamic State (Isis) militants released a video of his death last week. The 26-year-old was doused in petrol and set alight before being buried under rubble by a bulldozer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A report on Saudi Arabia’s burnews.com claims IS militants admitted giving al-Kasabeh drugs to make him unaware of what would happen to him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is important to note that [Kasabeh] seemed unconscious and unaware of what awaits him and not, as some have said, that he is not afraid,” the site reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The video entitled Healing the Believers Chests was posted last week showed the pilot locked in a cage before he was set on fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials now believe Kasasbeh may have been killed almost a month earlier despite negotiations with IS to carry out a prisoner exchange for Sajida al-Rishawi – the female suicide bomber – in return for the pilot. She has since been executed along with another Iraqi militant connected with IS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jordan has also increased its offensive against IS with a series of air strikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jordan’s King Abdullah II said his country’s response would “be harsh because this terrorist organisation is not only fighting us, but also fighting Islam and its pure values”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, he pledged to hit the militants “hard in the very centre of their strongholds”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile it has been reported members of IS are defecting or deserting the terror regime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abu Mohammed told Raqqa Is Being Silently Slaughtered: “There is great tension in Raqqa city, where IS group suffered many defections in the past few days, a source from within IS has confirmed that most of defections are from suicide bombers, where these defections are considered a painful blow to the group.”<\/p>\n
