ISIS released images of this building in which they claimed Kayla Jean Mueller had been killed

Islamic
State militants have released a statement claiming that a female
American aid worker has been killed during a Jordanian air strike, it
has been reported.
Kayla
Jean Mueller, 26, is understood to be the last US hostage held by the
terror group, which had been demanding $6.6 million for her release.
Her death
is not yet been verified by independent sources and could easily be a
propaganda move by the terror group to lay blame for the woman's death
at the door Jordan.
Earlier
this week the Kingdom vowed to destroy ISIS and stepped up airstrikes
after the militants filmed themselves burning a Jordanian pilot to death
while he was locked in a cage.
In August 2013, U.S. officials and Mueller's family had requested that her name not be published for fear of putting her in further danger.
ISIS had reportedly demanded more than $6 million for her release.
A statement released this afternoon by ISIS sources said: 'The criminal Crusader coalition aircraft bombarded a site outside the city of Raqqa today at noon while the people were performing the Friday prayer.'
'The air assaults were continuous on the same location for more than an hour,' it added before sharing photographs of a bombed out building that it claimed had come under attack.
ISIS then claimed Mueller had been inside the building at the time and had been killed, but added that no militants had been injured.
There were no images of Mueller herself and the claim could not be independently verified.
The woman is understood to have been working for an aid agency in Syria when she and her boyfriend ventured into the city of Aleppo last August.
Shortly after arriving the pair are believed to have been kidnapped by Islamic State militants and taken to the terror group's stronghold and de facto capital Raqqa.
