Islamic State militants have released a video purportedly showing the beheading of a US journalist who went missing two years ago.
The footage appears to show a masked man - speaking in English with traces of a British accent - killing James Foley, who was seized by armed men in Syria in November 2012.
In the five-minute video, posted on social media sites by Islamic State sources, the group declares that Mr Foley was killed after Barack Obama ordered airstrikes against IS positions in northern Iraq.
The group also claimed to be holding another American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and said his life depended on the US president's next move.
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration had seen the video but had not yet confirmed its authenticity.
She said that if it is verified by the intelligence community, the US would be "appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist".

no wonder the Dems and Obama is trying to make this Ferguson convict the cops , cops are bad agenda.
They know they have nothing to run on what so ever, and now more and more are being killed because of his failed foreign policy
But Obama traded 5 Gitmo prisoners for one American traitor.
‘Appalled’? Somehow I don’t think so.
he was there to report on the “humanitarian impact of war”.
no more need be said.
Obama smiles. Hey, if Sky covers it, it may actually see the light of day in the American MSM circuit. Not taking any bets on it,,but,,can only hope.
0bama - “Meh” ....
Hey who are we to condemn this. It is their culture, it is what they do. All cultures are equal and of equal value they are murderers and Western progressives are perverts. We should all learn to accept each other.
Obama is an 15#)#- narcissist who hardly cares about what effects more than himself, or much anyone else.
In my Intl relations class, it was said that diplomacy fails and you must resort to force, you keep raising the level of punishment until they are no longer willing to pay the price for what they are doing.
Seems like we have a way to go with people who do not understand anything other than overwhelming and unrelenting force

Are you referring to Dem communists? That would make sense.
exactly
Religion of Peace!! They’ll saw your head off to prove it.
Ultimately that is what will have to be done. But I suppose, in true American fashion, we’ll try everything else first.
Sickening, just like they did to Daniel Pearl in 2002.
War is the final stage of diplomacy.
Yeah, and my sister and bil, both proressives, say “Oh,....they’re just people like us.” When I hear this, I am thinking, where is the barf bag. Oh, and neither one of them have ever been out of the country. They know nothing of these animals.
Prayers for Foley and his family.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
