New information shows that the method of his death was likely brought about through a Twitter campaign created by ISIS.
Just days following Kasasbeh’s capture, after his plane crashed into the Islamic groups territory on December 24, thousands of ISIS supporters took to Twitter where they responded to an outgoing tweet.
The post asked followers to answer this hashtag:#SuggestAWayToKillTheJordanianPilotPig.
Thousands of ISIS supporters responded to the hashtag with inhumane ideas. Included in those responses were both ways in which Kasasbeh was executed.
