The Islamic militant group ISIS cut off the head of an American journalist in a video made public Tuesday — following through on a threat it made when it beheaded another American two weeks ago and vowed to keep killing unless the United States stopped airstrikes.
The journalist, Steven Joel Sotloff, was beheaded in a
video made public by SITE Intel Group, which monitors jihadist organizations.
The video surfaced days after Sotloff’s mother pleaded with the leader of ISIS for mercy.

ISIS beheaded another American journalist, James Foley,
in a video released Aug. 19 and threatened to kill Sotloff unless President
Barack Obama ended the airstrikes, which have pummeled ISIS targets in Iraq for four
weeks.
The masked ISIS figure
in the video speaks to U.S. President Barack Obama, telling him,
“Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our
knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.
“I’m back, Obama, because of your arrogant foreign policy
towards the Islamic State, because of your insistence on continuing your
bombings,” the English-accented executioner says as he holds a knife to
Sotloff’s neck.
