ISIS earlier today released a video showing the beheading of a
second U.S journalist, 31 year old Steven Sotloff.
The Associated Press and the SITE Intel Group, an organization
that tracks the online activity of terrorist groups, both reported on Tuesday
that the Islamic State has posted a video of the execution barely two weeks
after the group formerly known as ISIS published a similar clip of American
photojournalist James Foley suffering the same fate.
Kneeling in an orange
jump suit, Sotloff is seen in the clip reading a statement to the president as
Foley did before him.
“Obama, your foreign policy of intervention in Iraq was
supposed to be for preservation of American lives and interests, so why is it
that I am paying the price of your interference with my life?” Sotloff asks.
"As your missiles continue to strike our people, our
knife will continue to strike necks of your people," the masked man says
before killing Sotloff. Another captured civilian — David Cawthorne Haines of
the UK — will be the next murdered unless "this evil alliance of America
against the Islamic State" ends, militants warn in the video.
