Beijing vows justice after Islamic State executes Chinese captive

China vowed on Thursday to "bring to justice" those responsible for executing one of its citizens after Islamic State said it had killed a Chinese captive, the first and so far only known Chinese hostage held by the group.

Islamic State said it had killed a Norwegian and a Chinese captive, showing what appeared to be pictures of the dead men under a banner reading "Executed" in the latest edition of its English language magazine.

It did not give any details in the online Dabiq magazine, published on Wednesday, about how, when or where the men were killed.

In a brief statement, China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the man's identify for the first time, naming him as Fan Jinghui, saying he had been "cruelly murdered". It said in September one of its citizens appeared to be in Islamic State captivity.

After he was kidnapped, the Chinese government activated an emergency mechanism to try and "rescue" him, but he was still killed in a "cold-blooded way", the ministry said.

"The Chinese government strongly condemns this savage act devoid of humanity and will certainly bring the criminals to justice," it added.

[It is amazing how many people and nations they have attacked]

Bible Prophecy. 100% true and accurate.

Genesis 16:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

That’s the best part of all this - it gets everybody off of Israel’s ass while they’re focused on Syria, the most persistent bee in Israel’s bonnet for a long time now.

Sigh, but eventually they will flee, morph, and come back as something else. Islam...

II, for one, am happy to have a reason to like Russia. They’re just people. Mostly nice people. WE are the bad guys now.

China is building a gas pipeline from Iran to Pakistan. They've built an oil pipeline from China, through Burma, to a Caspian Sea terminal.

Russia wants Middle Eastern oil and gas but China absolutely needs it. With no one to oppose them the Chicoms can go into the protection racket, shielding the Saudis and Gulf states from ISIS in exchange for discounted oil.

The dead Chinese hostage is just an excuse to get their foot in the door.

If you kill enough of them they will stop fighting.


Yeah they will drop their weapons and meld into the crowd like they did in Baghdad.

Then they will be back in two years.

Level every fricking village, town and mud hut so that they do not have a place to “meld”. Bomb, kill and destroy every fighting age male that looks cross way.

Because if you do not, in two years, they will be right back at your throat.
