Abu Dhabi ( CNN ) '' Do you know what the Islamic State ( ISIS ) will do with you ? '' members of the terrorist group 's propaganda wing ask their captive , who appears to be wearing an orange jumpsuit . `` Yes . They will kill me , '' the hostage replies . The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has just published in its latest English-language magazine Dabiq what it claims is an `` interview '' with the Jordanian pilot captured in Syria . Militants say they downed an F-16 jet manned by Moaz al-Kassasbeh as he took part in U.S.-led coalition air strikes near ISIS 's de-facto capital , Raqqah , last week . Images provided by the extremist organization 's media wing and circulated widely on social media showed bearded men with Kalashnikovs pulling the terrified airman out of a nearby river . `` We entered the region of Raqqah to sweep the area , then the striker jets entered to begin their attack , '' al-Kassasbeh said , according to the online publication . `` My plane was struck by a heat-seeking missile . I heard and felt its hit . '' The Jordanian government and U.S. Central Command described the incident as an aircraft crash and adamantly stated that it was not shot down by ISIS . `` I checked the system display and it indicated that the engine was damaged and burning , '' the pilot is quoted as saying . `` The plane began to deviate from its normal flight path , so I ejected . I landed in the Furat River by parachute and the seat caught on some ground , keeping me fixed , until I was captured by soldiers of the Islamic State . '' A still image of al-Kassasbeh wearing the orange jumpsuit tops the short article titled : `` The Capture of the Crusader Pilot . '' Journalist James Foley , American NGO founder Peter Kassig , and British aid worker Alan Henning among other hostages wore similar outfits in videos purporting to show their murders at the hands of the extremists . The magazine also contains an article claimed to have been authored by British hostage John Cantlie , headlined `` Meltdown . '' The article suggests the world is facing economic collapse and says `` it makes enormous sense for the Islamic State to mint their own gold dinars . '' Cantlie was a photojournalist and freelance writer for major British newspapers , before he was kidnapped in November 2012 along with American journalist James Foley , who was also killed by ISIS militants . The family of the captured Jordanian pilot have made several emotional pleas for his release and called on the Jordanian government to launch an investigation into the crash . `` Be supportive of our brother Moaz and to be merciful on him , please send him back to us , '' Jawad al-Kassasbeh told CNN Arabic last Friday . `` He is just a soldier who is following orders and has no authority . '' Jordan , is one of several nations participating in an American-led mission against ISIS , an organization which is seeking to establish a Caliphate , or Islamic State , and has wrested territory spanning from central Syria to about 100km ( 62 miles ) north of Baghdad . The United Nations says the group 's acts of brutality , including the enslavement of women , mass killing , and the torture and imprisonment of its enemies , amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity .
