ISIS has posted a video, claiming that they have beheaded American journalist James Foley of Rochester, New Hampshire. They say that he was beheaded by the terror group in order to dissuade the United States from its involvement in Iraq. Foley has been missing since 2012.
A Middle Eastern radio station’s reporter, Zaid Benjamin, has posted pictures to Twitter. Reportedly, the photos are from the video that ISIS posted.
Zaid Benjamin, the Washington correspondent for Radio Sawa, said that the location of the beheading is unknown, but he did say that he thought the accent of the man in the video was North African, rather than from the Iraq region.
According to The Wire:
James Foley is a photojournalist who has worked for several news organizations. According to a website set up in his honor, he went missing while covering the conflict in Syria in 2012. His disappearance was ruled a kidnapping by the FBI.
Also in the video, ISIS claims to be holding Steven Joel Soltoff, a reporter who went missing in 2013, who has worked for TIME. He last tweeted on August 3, 2013, where he was purportedly in Libya. In the video, ISIS warns that his life depends upon “depends on Obama’s next decision.”
This is rather disturbing, and only further shows the threat that we face from this dreadful terror group. This cannot be something that we tread lightly on. It is impossible for the civilized world to coexist with individuals like this, who have absolutely no regard for human life. The United States must be strong against this terror group, or we risk losing any ground we may have made over the last decade in the War on Terror.
Will this work?
Will this work?
> Michael Moore should go over there and make a movie about how open and tolerant the ISIS guys are....
They can play kickhead together in the street...
There is a good reason that I won’t go over there.....YOU JUST MIGHT GET BEHEADED!
They posted a video online on Twitter, but Twitter shut the reporters account down that posted it. So, I guess we are left waiting until some website puts it up!
I don’t think the president was going to really do much, regardless. His policy is already doing nothing, so I don’t think it will impact it.
I’m going to guess a speech where we hear how outraged the president is and that he will not stand idly by...and then he will stand idly by.
He’s already been stoking the flames, and now with Holder going down there, it will only get worse!
Hahahaha I have to agree this is the greatest comment of the day...maybe the week!
