Islamist militants 'kill reporter James Foley on video'

[Lady Vizsla]

Quote:

The Islamic State militant group has released a video online purporting to show the beheading of US journalist James Foley, missing since 2012.

The militants said the killing was revenge for US air strikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq.

Foley's mother Diane said on Facebook she was proud of her son: "He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people."

The White House said if the video was genuine, the US would be "appalled".

Foley has reported extensively across the Middle East, working for America's Global Post and other media outlets including the French news agency AFP.

In the video titled A Message to America, a man who appears to be James Foley is dressed in orange kneeling in desert-like terrain beside an armed man dressed in black.

The militant, who speaks with a British accent and identifies himself as an IS member, says the journalist's death is the direct result of US bombing of IS targets in Iraq.

Lol i never said the poor guy deserved it. But knowing the potential violence and outcomes in the area he's choosing to do his journalism in, and still going through with it. How is he not partially at fault how he ended up? Journalists have a life threatening job when it comes to them being in unstable countries. Btw, i like your name lol. 3nodding

Thank you. And fault goes to the people who killed him. It's not like it was an accident or it was in his control. So no he was not at fault.

You're welcome and your avi too, it's nice biggrin lol i disagree with that, its their country, and ******** up cause and he CHOSE to be there KNOWING that american journalists are very often targets being held for ransom, or just to behead. He was at fault im sorry but its true. They are aware of and acknowledged what they did, but let's be honest, its not like they said come over so we can behead you. an american in an unstable islamic country? He/she is pretty much asking to have their head cut off... 3nodding

Yes, it was rather barbaric.

I wonder if IS recognizes the irony that their retaliation for being routed from that mountain and having a bunch of their equipment and people blown up is murdering one helpless journalist.
Yay for you! You showed the world how powerful you are!
PS - You also took another step towards galvanizing multiple countries to stand against you.
