United States pledges to continue fight against Islamic State after apparent killing of Jordanian pilot

INTRO: The United States has expressed its horror over the release of video apparently showing the burning to death of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic State extremists.

Muath al-Kasaesbeh was captured after his fighter jet crashed in Syria in December, and there have been intense negotiations in an attempt to get him released.

As John Clarke reports from Washington DC, President Obama says the killing will increase the commitment of America to defeat Islamic State.
