Jordan army planes bomb IS targets for third day

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan carried out a third
straight day of air strikes on Islamic State targets
on Saturday, it said, in response to the group's
killing of a captive Jordanian pilot.
“Sorties of air force fighters today bombed bases
of the Daesh terror gang,” state television said
in a bulletin, using a derogatory Arabic name for
the militants. It said some of the targets were in
the Syrian city of Raqqa but gave no other
details.
Jordan began on Thursday what it called an
"earthshaking" response to the death of the
pilot.
