Aug 19 - REPORT: ISIS behe@ds U.S. Journalist
James Foley, Missing American Photojournalist, Reportedly Executed By ISIS In Syria
James Foley, an American journalist who went missing in Syria more than a year ago, has reportedly been executed by the Islamic State, a militant group formerly known as ISIS. The group reportedly threatened to behe@d Steven Sotloff, another American journalist, next.
Video and photos purportedly of Foley emerged on Tuesday. A YouTube video -- entitled "A Message to #America (from the #IslamicState)" -- identified a man on his knees as "James Wright Foley," and showed his execution. It also showed another man on his knees it claimed is Sotloff, whose future the executioner said "depends" on President Obama's "next decision." Sotloff, a freelance journalist, went missing in Syria in August 2013.
Foley was in Syria covering the country's civil war when he went missing in November of 2012. In an earlier report on efforts to find him, the Columbia Journalism Review said that he was believed to have been held in Damascus.
