Amman: Jordans information minister says his government is ready to swap an Iraqi woman held in Jordan for a Jordanian pilot captured in December by extremists from Daesh.
Mohammad Al Momani made no mention in his statement Wednesday of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, who is also being held by Daesh.
Al Momanis comments were carried by Jordans state Petra news agency.
The minister says that Jordan is ready to release the Iraqi prisoner if the Jordanian pilot, Lt. Muath Al Kaseasbeh, is released unharmed.
A purported message Tuesday threatened to kill both Goto and the pilot within 24 hours.
