Activity as a terrorist

In 2005 she was involved in a serious series of attacks in the Jordanian capital Amman , in which 60 people were killed and 115 injured. She failed in a suicide bombing of a wedding party because her explosive belt did not explode and has been detained since 2005. Her death sentence has been renegotiated on appeal since 2006 . The Japanese hostage Kenji Gotō was murdered in January 2015 after exchange negotiations with the IS failed. The Jordanian hostage Muʿādh al-Kasāsba , a crashed pilot, was also the subject of talks for an exchange with her. After it became known that the pilot had been burned alive on February 3, 2015, the Kingdom of Jordan executed al-Rishawi by hanging on February 4, 2015 .
