Waiting and watching: A prisoner swap didn’t go through yesterday, and the fate of two hostages held by ISIS is up in the air. A video purportedly from the Islamist extremists demanded Jordan drop off convicted terrorist Sajida al-Rishawi at the Turkish border before sundown. Jordan said they weren’t willing to do that without a sign their hostage was still alive. The video message included a threat to kill the Jordanian pilot and a Japanese hostage, if al-Rishawi was not released. But it didn’t mention any promise of releasing the two in exchange for her.
