Islamic State has burned alive a Jordanian pilot in a horrific video released by the militant group.

Mu'ath Al Kassasbeh was taken captive by IS when his F-16 fighter jet crashed near Raqqa, Syria, in December.

Images of his murder have been circulated by IS supporters on Twitter.

They show the 26-year-old airman in an orange jumpsuit in a cage with a line of fuel leading to him.

The fuel is then lit and the cage bursts into flames.

The Jordanian government has informed his family he has been killed and vowed an "earth-shattering" response against IS.
