Horrifying pictures circulated on Twitter by IS supporters showed a man being burnt alive inside a black cage.
The pictures have not been verified yet.
Mr al-Kasaesbeh had been held hostage with Japanese journalist Kenji Goto who was reportedly beheaded in a video released by the terrorists on Saturday.
The pilot's family have been informed of the news by the head of the Jordan's armed forces.

On Sunday Jordan confirmed they were willing to release convicted suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi in return for lieutenant al-Kasaesbeh.
The Jordanian authorities had transported al-Rishawi to the Turkish border in preparation for a prisoner swap last Thursday.
But negotiations stalled when IS refused to confirm whether the pilot was alive.
Just around half an hour ago we got this...

Absolutely horrific if he has met his fate in that cage, although looks as though Jordan is going to enact revenge very shortly (above).
The Gulf kingdoms should consider upping their military actions in the former Iraq and Syria. Especially air warfare.
Thoughts?
