Monitoring Desk: Steven Sotloff beheading video released. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed that it has released the video of beheading of Steven J. Sotloff, the American freelance journalist.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the video had been posted online, barely two weeks after the group formerly known as ISIS published a video of American photojournalist James Foley suffering from the same fate at the hands of the group. 

The Islamic State militant group released a video purporting to show the beheading of US hostage Steven Sotloff, the SITE monitoring service reported on Tuesday.

 

A masked figure in the video also issued a threat against a British hostage, a man the group named as David Haines, and warned governments to back off “this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State”, the monitoring service said.
