an ISIS militant who speaks with a British accent brutally executing an
American photojournalist who was kidnapped in Syria two years ago.

Graphic
footage of the execution appeared in an video titled: 'A Message to the
U.S.', in which an apparently coerced James Wright Foley, 40, describes
America as his true killers for using airstrikes to assist Kurdish
forces in recapturing the Mosul Dam from ISIS militants.
Speaking
after the video emerged, Foley's mother Diane issued a statement saying
that she and her husband John have 'never been prouder' of their son,
who they say gave his life to expose the suffering of the Syrian people.

James Wright Foley, had been missing since November 2012,
He was one of 20 journalists currently being held by ISIS militants in Syria and Iraq, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.
ISIS
posted the extremely graphic video shot at an unknown location, titled
'A Message to America' to social media as proof of their barbaric
actions.
In a chilling
warning at the end of the grisly film, the executioner, who speaks with what
sounds like a British accent, parades another American journalist,
Steven Joel Sotloff, who went missing in August 2013, saying:
'The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision.'
