View Full Version : IS Beheads US Journalist James Foley In Video

A militant with an English accent blames US airstrikes in Iraq for James Foley's death and says they are holding another American.

Islamic State militants have released a video that purportedly shows the beheading of a US journalist who went missing two years ago.

The footage appears to show a masked man - speaking in English with an English accent - killing James Foley, who was seized by armed men in Syria in November 2012.

In the five-minute propaganda video, posted on social media sites by Islamic State sources, the man says Mr Foley was being killed because Barack Obama had ordered airstrikes against IS positions in northern Iraq.

The journalist, dressed in an orange jumpsuit like those worn by Guantanamo inmates, is seen kneeling in the desert before he blames the US for his death, in a statement presumably prepared by his abductors.

He then says: "I wish I had more time, I wish I could have the hope of freedom and seeing my family once again, but that ship has sailed."

He is then beheaded.

The group also claimed to be holding another American journalist, Steven Sotloff, who appears at the end of the video, and said his life depended on the US President's next move.

A statement issued by Mr Foley's mother, Diane Foley, said: "We have never been prouder of our son, Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people.

"We implore the kidnappers to spare the lives of the remaining hostages. Like Jim, they are innocents. They have no control over American government policy in Iraq, Syria or anywhere in the world.

"We thank Jim for all the joy he gave us. He was an extraordinary son, brother, journalist and person. Please respect our privacy in the days ahead as we mourn and cherish Jim."

White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration had seen the video - which Sky News has chosen not to show - 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".

Mr Foley, 40, was an experienced correspondent who had covered the war in Libya before heading to Syria to follow the revolt against Bashar al Assad for the GlobalPost, AFP and other outlets.

Philip Balboni, GlobalPost chief executive and co-founder, said the firm had been informed that the FBI is evaluating the video to determine whether it was authentic.

"We ask for your prayers for Jim and his family," he said.

According to witnesses, Mr Foley was seized in the northern Syrian province of Idlib on November 22, 2012.

The car he was travelling in was stopped by four militants in a contested battle zone that both Sunni rebel fighters and government forces were trying to control.

His family has not heard from him since, despite a public campaign for information.

Several senior US officials with direct knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that IS very recently threatened to kill Mr Foley to avenge the American airstrikes over the last two weeks.

The strikes targeted militants advancing on Mount Sinjar, the Mosul Dam and Kurdish capital Irbil.

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the video, voiced by an IS fighter with a British accent, appeared to be genuine and was "an appalling example of the brutality of this organisation".

It comes a day after IS militants threatened to attack US targets in another video where they warned "we will drown all of you in blood".

hmm, I haven’t watched it and couldn’t watch it...partly because I’m a mother but also because it was meant to be watched so I can at least deny them that....I did see a still/pic on the news earlier though with a recording of his executioner’s voice which was just seconds or moments before he was executed I believe...and the strange thing is in James’ face I didn’t see any terror at all, it was like a complete acceptance and maybe through the last two years since he’s been a hostage, he was himself brainwashed/convinced that ‘America was evil’ and almost felt this was something that he had to do and almost ‘glad’ to do it..?...like suicide bombers etc..?...I don’t know ..the ‘peace/acceptance’ on his face and lack of emotion just seemed odd and as you said, not the same as someone terrified and screaming with what was about to happen.....

Probably because there is no political aspect or organization of christians in the US trying to take over the country. christian preachers aren't going into church on sundays talking about the evils of america and encouraging people to cause violence.

Sadly,the Muslim fundamentalist terrorist fits a certain look and criteria which means that a huge numbr of totally innocent Muslims are going to be scrutinised because terrorists are carrying out attrocities in the name of your religion. It's not fair, but that's the way it is. And it isn't only tan-skinned Muslim people who are more closely scrutinised. I was held at immigration at JFK for hours because despite being white, I was travelling alone and had Arabic stamps in my passport. Did it make me angry? Actually... no.

I'm not being funny, but all you need to do is look at the people who are involved in most of the terrorist all around the world. I'm not saying that ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS!!!!!!! You will never ever hear me say that. I think that muslims (from my experience) are easily some of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. There is a MASSIVE difference between someone who is muslim and someone who is an extremist. It's sad that muslims end up being labelled as terrorists, when it's only a small portion of them with warped views. I'm easily one of the most open minded people when it comes to religious views. But you cannot deny that a huge portion of the mishaps that go on in the world, are done by muslim extremists.

If a person has extra precautionary measures done to them in an airport, because they are muslim, is that racism? IMO no it's not. It's just unfortunate that they have to go through that, because of these people who make them look crazy. If it were Americans who were the extremists and bombing/decapitating people on a daily basis, I'd be totally understanding if I had to get checked over in an airport. I have been a few times.

Of course not all muslims are detorists and a lot of them disagree with the action of isis but how most of them see it is that back home people get bombed, shot on a daily basis by the west. They kill one American and world wide outcry they deserve to get bombed further.

So it would have cost $132m to free this man. I know the whole "we don't negotiate with terrorists" blah blah blah stuff but that absolutist view isn't really accurate or logical. For starters the US were happy to negotiate with the Taliban by exchanging five Islamists for that American soldier. I also believe that paying a ransom like that is ultimately worth it to protect the life of your citizen. It's a brutal murky war, you can't win every battle within it, sometimes sacrificing your principles and a few of your dollars is worth it to save the life of your countryman. And let's face it, $130m is a mere drop in the ocean for the US government, you might say it would contribute a lot to ISIS but I'm not so convinced, not considering they are currently in control over some of the wealthiest oil rich regions on the planet. And while the US may refuse to fork out ransoms there has already been cases of the French, the Spanish, the Germans, the Italians and the Swiss doing so in order to secure the release of their citizens. For the US not do so doesn't really achieve much at all if other Western nations are prepared to pay for the release of hostages.

I also thought this was a strong point made by Robert Fisk on the changing way that journalists are now viewed in the Middle East, seen as fair game by people of all different persuasions:

For journalists, yesterday was a fearful day. Thirty years ago, Arabs would acknowledge our special role as neutral observers. As the years have gone by – and as journalists have been killed by American military forces and Israeli soldiers and Iraqi rebels (and Arab militias), so our vulnerability has grown infinitely greater. When our chum, the Egyptian Field Marshal Abdol Fottah al-Sissi, locks up journalists for months, precious little do Western governments care about them. When our own masters show so little concern for our fate, is it any surprise that Isis –or Isil or whatever – are prepared to kill them. Sure, we don’t execute them. But that’s not a significance Isis is going to take much interest in.

The kidnappers will always take any Westerner they can it seems, I don't think they're that bothered if they get the ransom or if they kill them. If the former then they get their money, the latter gives them the chance for a powerful propaganda stunt like this one, either outcome suits them really

And there's the problem that if you're gonna have the 'no negotiation' policy then you've gotta be consistent with it, but basically every Western country has paid ransoms in the past and so it still makes it worthwhile for any kidnappers. Quite a few other European countries seem to have paid them recently, and even us and the States have done it not too long ago, the US with the solider if Afghanistan and the UK with that couple who were kidnapped by Somali pirates a few years back. It's true though that if you always paid ransoms then it may encourage more kidnappings but then the focus should be on avoiding that in the first place, I don't think journalists and non-combatants should ever be in that position that they may be captured and its worrying that they are now apparently seen as fair game in a lot of conflicts

..it's not just money demands though is it..it's also the release of 'world threats' and can that be given in to because surely that would just increase the worry of this whole thing..also it's so complicated because if a captive were to be released and demands given in to and that captive had done something similar to this beheading or responsible for deaths in other ways and the families of those victims had to see that person released to save another but then that person was killed anyway or the released went on to actively plot other atrocities then what has been solved and how does that make families who have lost feel....and see these people who have ruined their lives go on and do it again...because these are extremists and it will go on.../nothing will be 'solved' in releasing them and no lives will be saved I don't think....

..so this has given him the notoriety that was sought...it's a good point though made earlier that it could be his voice only used to 'add to the horror' of a British civilian butchering and American one...

Yes.

I 100% support the policy of not negotiating with terrorists. I feel for the family of James Foley, but people can not give in to that kind of terrorist demand.

have you done a survey across the millions of muslims? didnt think so

dangerous generalized over simplified nonsense

Fair enough that's your opinion. On channel 4 yesterday there was a muslim refusing to answer whether he condemned the beheading act and was getting quite aggressive about being forced to give an answer they want to hear and i've been around a few muslim people who have the views i've stated, plus I read a lot of comments on sites under these issues. Not everyone is sympathetic towards Westerners, just because western media generally make it look like it's a "worldwide" outcry not everyone feels like that. And I mean the fact that number of British Muslims joining ISIS is increasing should also be an indication. :shrug:

..it just seems odd that his face was covered to be not recognised yet his voice would be easily recognisable to people who knew him and may reveal his identity..so maybe was 'set up' to think he was from the UK...

Propaganda is a terrible yet effective thing. How can we ever know for sure whether this is a true eyes / voice match? Yet it will have the effect of bringing groups like EDL / UKIP into the mix, to stir dissention.

We have to be careful. When we live in an induced climate of fear we are easily manipulable, yet the facts are actually obfuscated.

This happened with Ken Foley, how many of you remember him?
