ISIS have reportedly released a video announcing the execution of one of the two Japanese hostages who were being held by the extremist group. The video shows a still photo of captured Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, holding a photograph allegedly showing the beheaded corpse of his fellow hostage, Haruna Yukawa. The video was posted online by a known ISIS supporter, and is nearly three minutes long, consisting of an audio clip of Goto speaking over the photo above. Initially ISIS asked for $200Million, being the same amount that Japan offered as humanitarian aid to those fighting against ISIS in the middle east.
