On Friday, the terrorist group known as ISIS said that a female American hostage in Syria was killed during a Jordanian airstrike. The bombings came in response to ISIS’ release of a video showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive. The White House said Thursday that President Obama will ask Congress to formally authorize military force against ISIS. Carnegie’s Lina Khatib joined KQED Radio to discuss the campaign against the Islamic State.
