UAE pulled out of IS fight after pilot capture:
Washington (AFP) - The United Arab Emirates pulled out of the air campaign fighting Islamic State militants after the capture of a Jordanian pilot who has since been killed by the extremists, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The pilot was captured in December and Islamic State militants released a video Tuesday showing the man in a cage being burned alive.
The key US ally in the campaign suspended air strikes in December after the capture, fearing for the fate of its pilots, the Times said, quoting US officials.
