◼ The CIA is investigating claims that American hostage Kayla Jean Mueller was killed during Jordanian airstrikes in Syria. - Le-gal In-sur-rec-tion
Mueller, an American aid worker, was taken by ISIS a year and a half ago, and is believed to be the last American held hostage by the group....
Is this ISIS’ attempt at a divide-and-conquer strategy to split the US and Jordan in our mutual war on terror? The media has already pointed out various discrepancies in the claim; but still, I suppose any stirring up of emotions by a group already so adept at capturing the world’s attention has the potential to affect global cooperation in the battle to defeat ISIS.

"No matter how long it takes," says Pres Obama, the US will track down the terrorists responsible for Kayla’s captivity and death.

It doesn't matter if Kayla Mueller died during an airstrike. The people who kidnapped her murdered her.
