Special Report:The Jordan Response-and how the US helped

So far,there have been two retaliatory airstrikes by the US-led coalition on ISIL targets for the burning of Jordanian Royal Air Force Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh.Two dozen Jordanian F-16 Fighting Falcons have struck ISIL targets including ammunition dumps,weapons,training camps and hideouts.The raids have been focused on the ISIL headquarters in Raqqa,Syria.
Accompanying the Jordanians are US F-18 fighter aircraft,as well as the F-22 Raptor,the most advanced US fighter jet currently in service.They have assisted Jordan with surveillance,reconnaissance,targeting and jamming.US air tankers refueled the Jordanian jets as well.
It is not known whether there will be a ground component.Such a raid would require extensive intelligence gathering,analysis and practice.As always,the Operation Inherent Resolve coalition must take into account collateral damage before executing any attack,and the ISIL militants have significantly dispersed and melted into their surroundings.
In Raqqa,a crowd of ISIL supporters had cheered as they viewed a video of LT al-Kasasbeh's death at the hands of the Islamist jihadists.
