Pres. Obama offers condolence to the Family of Slain Jordanian Pilot by ISIS

President Barack Obama has offered his condolences to the family of slain Jordanian hostage Mouath al-Kasaesbeh and vowed the U.S.-led coalition will continue to fight Islamic State militants.

Obama praised al-Kasaesbeh for his bravery and said he was "in the vanguard of the effort to degrade and defeat the threat" posed by militants from Islamic State, also known as ISIL.

"Today, the coalition fights for everyone who has suffered from ISIL's inhumanity. It is their memory that invests us and our coalition partners with the undeterred resolve to see ISIL and its hateful ideology banished to the recesses of history," Obama said in a statement.
