Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz
al-Saud on Wednesday condemned the killing of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic
State militants, calling it a "heinous crime which contradicts the
tolerance of our noble religion", the Saudi state news said.
His message offered condolences to
the Jordanian people and King Abdullah of Jordan after footage on Tuesday
purported to show masked gunmen putting captured Jordanian pilot Mouath
al-Kasaesbeh in a cage and burning him to death.
Jordan and Saudi Arabia are part of
the U.S.-led alliance bombing the Islamic State group, which has seized swaths
of Iraq and Syria.
