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. ~{Sara}
