Beirut: The Islamic State group has released a message purportedly by Japanese hostage Kenji Goto, extending the deadline for Jordan's release of an Iraqi would-be hotel bomber linked to al-Qaida.
The audio recording, in English, says the Jordanians must present Sajida al-Rishawi at the Turkish border by sunset on Thursday, or Jordanian pilot Lt Muath al-Kaseasbeh will be killed.
The recording, distributed on Twitter by IS-affiliated accounts, appeared to be more rushed than the two previous ones purportedly from Goto, which showed a photo of him along with the audio recording.
The Associated Press could not independently verify the contents of the recording.
