SKY:

The Japanese government says it is trying to authenticate a video which shows the apparent murder of hostage Kenji Goto.

BBC:

A video has been released online purporting to show the beheading of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto by Islamic State militants.

The video comes less than a week after news of the beheading of another Japanese man, Haruna Yukawa.

IS had demanded a $200m (£130m) ransom for the two men.

Mr Goto, 47, is a well-known freelance journalist and film-maker who went to Syria in October, reportedly to try to secure Mr Yukawa's release.

Didn't they want some suicide bombing woman out of jail? Can't do and should never do what they ask. If true I feel deeply sorry for him and his family but you simply can not give in to terrorists. Ever.

Jordan was prepared to hand over the failed suicide bomber in exchange for its pilot but called ISIS bluff and said they wanted proof that he is still alive.

If ISIS couldn't prove that he was still alive then they would start executing captured ISIS terrorists that they had on death row including the failed suicide bomber. To date ISIS havent proven that he is still alive.

But I agree, terrorists should never be negotiated with.

Unfortunately it was never going to end any other way.

if it was my son..very hard to say but agree ..pay up/give in once and floodgates of Kidnap would open...

Exactly how did he think he was going to help negotiate the release of the previous hostage? Noble sentiments but just created even more problems. These thugs aren't human in the slightest and certainly not religious.

That is the only answer,if you want Freedom of Travel or Speech. We are a small planet so there are No Go Areas.

Boris was spot on. They really are w*nkers!

 

[vegster]

Sad but inevitable, you can't reason or negotiate with these people.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

These people who go to war torn countries do it for MONEY.
Plenty of places to visit and not get beheaded.

Jihad John deserves the longest, most painful death of any vertebrate that ever existed (along with Hitler/Mengele/Saville etc).

He was a journalist, not a mercenary, you cock!

 

[cjd]

Neither he or the Jordanian pilot were ever going to be released. Neither do ISIS care about the failed suicide bomber.....(she is after all only a female).

 

[Kosmonaut]

Absolute scum.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Who paid him to go then.
I'll ignore being called a cock until we meet up one day.
Don't remember calling him anything-you did that.

Wow. A guy has lost his life and you're blaming him for trying to make a quick buck? There's a time and a place.

Tragic, pointless loss of life but if you give in they'll do it more not less...can't win
