Islamist militants 'kill reporter James Foley on video' 19 August 2014 The Islamic State militant group has released a video online purporting to show the beheading of a US journalist. The victim was identified by the militants as James Foley, a freelancer who was seized in Syria in late 2012. The militants said it was in revenge for recent US air strikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq. The video has not been independently verified, but the White House said if it was genuine, the US would be "appalled by the brutal murder". Foley's family wrote on Facebook: "We know that many of you are looking for confirmation or answers. Please be patient until we all have more information, and keep the Foleys in your thoughts and prayers." Foley has reported extensively across the Middle East, working for America's Global Post and other media outlets including the French news agency AFP. 伊斯兰武装分子“拍视频杀害美国记者James Foley” 伊斯兰国家武装组织已经发布了一个在线视频显示了美国记者被斩首的画面。 武装分子确定受害人为自由职业者詹姆斯·福利，他在2012年年底于叙利亚被捕。 武装分子说，这是为了报复美国最近在伊拉克空袭“伊斯兰国”组织。 该视频还未得到独立消息来源的证实，但是白宫表示，如果这是真的，美国将被“这种残忍杀害感到震惊”。 福利的家人在脸谱网上写到，“我们知道很多人都想得到确认或者答案。请在我们大家获得更多信息之前保持耐心，愿大家时刻关注他并为他祈祷。” 福利曾作大量中东报道，且为美国环球邮报和其他媒体工作，其中包括法国通信社，即法新社。
