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 video, 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 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 Presidents next move. R.I.P. Prayers for Jim and his family.
