As Jordan mourns the young pilot who was burned alive by ISIS, questions are mounting over when the government knew about the fate of Lt. Muath al-Kasasbeh, NBC News reported. State media reported on Tuesday that he was killed on Jan. 3 — which could suggest Jordan knew its negotiations weeks later for the pilot's release would be for nought. It would also indicate that ISIS was bluffing — and never had any intention to spare the pilot's life. "It's very, very curious," said Charlie Winter, a researcher for Quilliam, a London-based organization that studies extremist organizations. "There's so many indications that he was killed ages ago."
