AMMAN –– Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh denied reports that terror convict Sajida Rishawi has left Jordan on her way to meet with Islamic State (IS) militants.

"To those who say that Rishawi was released and left Jordan, it is untrue as we confirmed from the beginning that her release is conditional to the release of our son Muath," Judeh wrote on his Twitter Account, referring to the Jordanian pilot Muath Kasasbeh who was captured by IS on December 24, 2014.
