ISIS’ claim Islamic State militants have released a statement claiming that a female American aid worker has been killed during a Jordanian air strike.

Kayla Jean Mueller, 26, is understood to be the last U.S. hostage held by the terror group, which had been demanding $6.6 million – £4.3million – for her release. Her death is not yet been verified by independent sources and could easily be a propaganda move by the terror group to lay blame for the woman’s death at the door of Jordan.

In August 2013, U.S. officials and Mueller’s family in her hometown of Prescott, Arizona had requested that her name not be published for fear of putting her in further danger.
