CRI听力:Jordan Intensifies Airstrikes against IS

Jordan's air force has launched a series of sorties against Islamic State's targets.

Jordanian air force chief Mansour al-Jabour says they hit weapons depots, training centers and military barracks.

"Targeting top leadership, with al-Baghdadi at the helm. The second target was the illegal revenues of the group which they have been getting from fuel. The third target was to weaken and destroy the trainings centers and the logistic centers."

The focus of the airstrikes is the Syrian city of Raqqa, which is the defacto capital of the Islamic State.

Jordan is among a group of 4 Arab countries involved in the US-led coalition hitting Islamic State targets with air-strikes.

Jordanian authorities have stepped up their attacks on Islamic State targets following the release of a grisly video this past week showing one of the country's captured pilots being burned to death.
