- description: ISIS Reportedly Executes Journalist Steven Sotloff In Video US journalist Steven Sotloff reportedly beheaded by Islamic State in new video An internet video that reportedly shows the beheading of US journalist Steven Sotloff has been released. The execution would be the second one carried out by the Islamic State on an American citizen in recent weeks, following the murder of James Foley last month. Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had appeared in the clip that showed the beheading of Foley. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against the backdrop of an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the US stopped airstrikes on the group in Iraq. In the video distributed today and entitled A Second Message to America, Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is allegedly beheaded by an Islamic State fighter. The White House said it could not immediately confirm reports the video had been released. Militants from the Islamic State, who released a video Tuesday appearing to show the beheading of U.S journalist James Wright Foley, also threatened to kill another man, believed to be U.S. journalist Steven Joel Sotloff. A man identified in the video as Sotloff, dressed in the same type of orange jumpsuit Foley wore, is shown at the end of the clip after Foley’s apparent beheading, alongside an ISIS member dressed in black. “The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision,” the ISIS member said, referring to the U.S.’s campaign of targeted airstrikes against ISIS. YouTube removed the video Tuesday evening for violating its policy on depicting graphic violence. Sotloff, a freelance journalist who had reported on Egypt, Syria, and Libya for TIME, the Christian Science Monitor, the National Interest and Foreign Policy magazine, went missing on Aug. 4, 2013, while on assignment near Aleppo, Syria. Jon Williams, foreign editor for ABC News, tweeted that Sotloff’s family had been advised to avoid spreading the news of Sotloff’s kidnapping. james foley, steven sotloff, james foley isis, steven sotloff isis, isis journalist beheading, james foley beheaded, steven sotloff threatened, isis journalists killed, obama airstrikes iraq, isis iraq, isis killed james foley, isis killed steven sotloff
