LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - This video, translated by Memri TV, comes just days after Kurdish fighters ran ISIS out of Kobane, their strategic town in Syria.
ISIS has also recently demanded the release of Sajidah Al-Rishawi, Jordan's woman prisoner arrested as part in a deadly spree of hotel bombings in 2005, in a separate video featuring Kenji Goto, a Japanese journalist hostage according to LA Times. ISIS is to exchange Jordanian pilot, Lt. Moaz Kasasbesh and possibly Goto for their woman.
Help save Christians from genocide in Iraq
Goto first appeared with ISIS when they threatened his and another Japanese man's life in exchange for $200 million. Haruna Yukawa, the other hostage, has since been beheaded by ISIS after the deadline for the money expired.
Goto explained the Jordanian government had 24 hours or the pilot and himself would be executed.
The ISIS militant goes on to threaten other countries after targeting Obama and America. "We advise you that we will come to you with car bombs and explosive charges and will cut off your heads," he says referring to France and Belgium.
Holding a Kurdish soldier hostage, the militant saves his most personal attack for last. Addressing the Kurdish leader Masoud Barazani, who is leading the fight against ISIS in Iraq, "We are going to behead you and throw you into the trash bin of history. Know that we are men who fear no one. We will institute the laws of Allah, may he be exalted and praised."
Health is important; let us help you improve yours today!
"This is that fate of one of your soldiers, and every time you launch a missile, we will send you back the head of one of your soldiers. You are killing children and bombarding civilians while claiming that this is forbidden in your constitution."
This video ends with the beheading of the Kurdish soldier.
