ISIS threatens to kill two Japanese hostages

Jihadi John threatens to execute them unless ISIS receives 200 million dollars

A new video has been released by the Islamic State, showing Jihadi John, the widely known British-accented executioner of the group, threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless the militants receive 200 million dollars within 72 hours.

In the video that was posted on ISIS websites, we can see Jihadi John standing between two Japanese captives in orange jumpsuits, who are identified as Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruna Yukawa, a journalist and a military company operator respectively.

It is reminded that ‘Jihadi John’ is the executioner who appeared in the beheading videos of four hostages in 2014.

It should also be noted that ISIS had released a video a few months ago, showing Haruna Yukawa being interrogated by members of the extremist group.
