ISIS beheads American journalist

Video shows apparent beheading of American journalist James Foley, who went missing in Syria

Journalist James Foley was captured once covering the uprising in Libya so he knew the risks when he went to Syria in 2012 to cover the escalating violence there. It didn't matter. He was a journalist at heart, once saying he'd cover local news if it meant doing the job he loved.


The 40-year-old from Rochester, New Hampshire, was snatched again in Syria in November 2012.

Two U.S. officials said they believed he was the person executed in a beheading by Islamic State militants in a video released Tuesday.

Foley's family has confirmed his death on a webpage created to rally support for him. His mother says he "gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people."

"We are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends," White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

The release of the video apparently showing his death comes amid a U.S. airstrike campaign against Islamic State targets in Iraq. The group has declared an Islamic state in the territory it controls in Iraq and neighboring Syria, imposing its harsh interpretation of Islamic law.

In the video a man who appears to be Foley, dressed in orange, kneels beside an armed man clad in black. Foley delivers a statement condemning U.S. action in Iraq and says that the U.S. government is his "real killers."

"For what will happen to me is only a result of their complacency and criminality," Foley says in halting speech. "I wish I had more time. I wish I could have the hope of freedom of seeing my family once again, but that ship has sailed. I guess all in all, I wish I wasn't American."

Seconds later, the figure dressed in black brandishes a knife and identifies himself as with the Islamic State, the name the brutal terror group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria took on after its leader declared himself the leader of all Muslims.

"Today your military air force has attacked us daily… Your strikes have caused casualties amongst Muslims," the figure in black says. He then addresses President Obama directly, saying "any attempt… to deny the Muslims their right to live in safety under the Islamic caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people."

Foley is then killed. The video continues, showing American Steven Sotloff, who has written for national publications like Time magazine, also dressed in orange and on his knees.

"The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision," the figure in black says.

Rais wa Marekani Barack anatarajiwa kutoa taarifa yake baadaye leo.

James Foley alipotea tangu alipokamatwa mateka na kushikiliwa nchini Syria yapata miaka miwili iliyopita.

Mamake mwandishi huyo ambaye aliuawa na wapiganaji wa jimbo linalodhibitiwa na wapiganaji wa kiislamu nchini Syria, ametoa risala za rambirambi kwa kijana wake na kusema kuwa alipoteza maisha yake akijaribu kufichua dhuluma walizokuwa wakipitia watu wa Syria.

Mpiganaji mmoja wa kundi hilo akizungumza kwa kizungu anailaumu Marekani kwa kifo cha mwandishi habari huyo.

''Kila siku mnaposhambulia jamhuri ya kiislamu manadhuru maisha ya muislamu na hivyo tunachukua maisha yetu ili iwe onyo kwako (rais) Obama''

anasikika akisema kabla ya kutekeleza kitendo hicho cha kikatali.

Sekunde chache baadaye mwaandishi mwengine pia raiya wa Marekani Steven Sotloff, anaonekana kabla ya ilani kutolewa kuwa hatima yake iko mikononi mwa Obama na hatua atakayochukua .

Scotloff alitekwa mwaka wa 2013 nchini Syria karibu na mpaka wa Uturuki.

Ikulu ya Marekani imesema inaifanyia uchunguzi wa kina video hiyo na ikithibitika kwamba mwandishi huyo wa habari ni wa taifa hilo ,serikali ya Marekani itataka ufafanuzi wa kina ilikuaje na kwanini James Foley auawe.

Katika mtandao wa kijamii wa Facebook familia ya mwandishi huyo iliandika kuwa 'tunajua kwamba wengi wenu mnasubiri uthibitisho ama majibu ya maswali yenu,tafadhalini muwe watulivu mpaka nasi sote tupate taarifa tunazo tamia,na tunaomba muendelee kumbumbuka Foleys na kumwombea kila siku.''

Katika video hiyo iliyobeba ujumbe unaosomeka kua ujumbe kwa Marekani,mwandishi huyo pia alionekana akiwa chini ya ulinzi wa mtu aliyekua amevalia kinyago usoni,askari huyo alikua akizungumza ndani ya lafidhi yenye athari za Uingereza,akisema kua kifo cha mwandishi huyo ni matokeo ya mashambulizi ya mabomu yanayowalenga wa Iraq.

Islamic State insurgents posted a video on Tuesday purportedly showing the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley and images of another U.S. journalist whose life they said depended on how the United States acts in Iraq. The video, titled "A Message To America," presented President Barack Obama with bleak options that could define America’s next phase of involvement in Iraq and the public reaction to it, potentially deepening his hand in a conflict he built much of his presidency on ending.
Obama held back from making a public statement about the beheading until the video could be formally authenticated. "If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends," White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement.


The video's grisly message was unambiguous, warning of greater retaliation to come against Americans following nearly two weeks of U.S. air strikes that have pounded militant positions and halted the advance of Islamic State, which until this month had captured a third of Iraq with little resistance. Posted on social media, the video brought a chilling and highly personal tone to a conflict that for many Americans had started to become all too familiar. See also: Islamic State executed 700 people from Syrian tribe: monitoring group Foley, 40, was kidnapped by armed men on Nov. 22, 2012, in northern Syria while on his way to the Turkish border, according to GlobalPost, a Boston-based online publication where Foley had worked as a freelancer.


He had reported in the Middle East for five years and had been kidnapped and released in Libya. Steven Sotloff, who appeared at the end of the video, went missing in northern Syria while reporting in July 2013. He has written for TIME among other news organizations. The video injected an unpredictable element into Obama’s deliberations on how far to proceed with U.S. air strikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq, though aides said his vow not to put U.S. combat forces on the ground in Iraq still held. On a Facebook page for Foley, a message from his mother Diane Foley said: "We have never been prouder of our son Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people.


"We implore the kidnappers to spare the lives of the remaining hostages. Like Jim, they are innocents. They have no control over American government policy in Iraq, Syria or anywhere in the world." Islamic State had not previously executed American citizens publicly. The video was posted after the United States resumed air strikes in Iraq this month for the first time since the end of the U.S. occupation in 2011.

Wakuu habari zenu,
Naomba wale ambao mawazo yao hayafungamani na imani yoyote tujadili hili jambo na pengine tupate kujifunza kitu kama si vitu.

Wengi wetu hapa jamvini mnatambua kuchinjwa mwandishi wa kujitegemea raia wa Marekani JIM FOLEY nchini Iraq. Cha kushangaza zaidi ni kuwa alitekeleza kitendo hiki ni raia wa Waingereza ambaye ni mpiganaji wa kundi la ISIS anayetambulika kwa jina la john ambaye ni mkazi wa London.

Mauaji ya West nchini kenya tuliambiwa kulikuwa na raia wa mataifa mbalimbali ya magharibi wakiwakirisha Alshabab, Je dunia itashinda hii vita ya ugaidi? Boko haram Nigeria wameendelea kufanya kila wanachotaka wanaua wanayetaka, wanateka wanayetaka. Leo hii wasichana zaidi ya 200 kutoko jimbo la Bono huko Maidugul wanashiliwa, pia juzi zaidi ya vijana 90 walitekwa na kuchukuliwa. Kama haitoshi mke wa naibu waziri mkuu wa Cameroon na mtoto wa chief wa jimbo moja huko Cameroon wako mikononi wa hawa jamaa.

Wote tumesikia Vijana wa Kitanzia waliokamatwa Kenya wakielekea Somalia kujiunga na Alshabab. Nihitimishe kwa kusema naiona dunia kama siyo mahali salama tena, kama dunia siyo salama Tanzania haiko salama pia. Najua wengi wengi mnatakuja na hoja zile zile za udini lakini tukumbuke hakuna aliye salama siyo Mkristu,muislam ama mpagani aliyesalama.

Tunamuona John anamchinja Jim kwa haraka haraka tutasema wote ni wakristu, na ikiwa ndivo tatizo liko wapi? Nina mengi ya kuandika lakini ngoja niachie hapo, ili kupata mchango ya wadau.

Hapa ni baadhi ya Waingereza walioko Iraq na Syria

Abu abdullah al-britani (L)

Britani, 32, is one of ten Britons from Portsmouth to have travelled to Syria to fight for Isil.

He uses Twitter to post pictures of his life as an insurgent, including an image of an automatic rifle hanging on a hook in a changing room, and another of a similar weapon on top of a gym bag.

In one post he wrote: "The children here have hearts of lions. When the helicopters [are] out they still play on the streets pointing their toy guns towards the sky."
He has also used the Ask. Fm chat room website to give advice to would-be jihadis planning on travelling from Britain, including a teenage boy who said he had never travelled alone before and was worried his parents would find out.

Britani assured the boy that when he arrived he would be given an AK47 assault rifle, four magazines of ammunition, a "vest pack" and a grenade.

Muhammad Hamideer Rahman

Like many other Britons, Rahman, 25, from Portsmouth, is believed to have flown from Gatwick airport to Turkey before making the short overland journey to Syria. A former supervisor at Primark, he was shot dead in July.

His father Abdul Hannan, 52, an Indian restaurant worker, said the family received a text message from a friend of his son in Syria saying Rahman was dead. He had told his father he "wanted to become a Shaheed (martyr) for the sake of Allah".

Mashudur Choudhury

Choudhury, 31, accompanied Rahman and four others to Syria in 2013 but returned to the UK and became the first person to be convicted of taking part in terrorist activity in Syria. He claimed during his trial at Kingston Crown Court in May that he never intended to fight, but wanted to move his family abroad to escape what he said were failures in his life in Portsmouth.

But he had talked on social media about dying a martyr's death, and joked that he and his friends from Portsmouth could form their own group called the al-Britani Brigade Bangladeshi Bad Boys. He will be sentenced next month.

Ifthekar Jaman

The 23-year-old from Portsmouth travelled to Syria last year to join Isil and told the BBC's Newsnight programme in an interview via the Internet that is was his "duty" to fight because Muslims were being "slaughtered". His friends Rahman and Choudhury and another man named as Abu Dujana followed him to Syria before he was killed in December.

Salma and Zahra Halane

The 16-year-old twin sisters from Manchester ran away to Syria to become "jihad brides" in July. They passed 28 GCSEs between them and had hoped to become doctors before they left their family home in the middle of the night to fly to Turkey. Their elder brother was already in Syria fighting with Isil.
Jaffar, Amer and Abdullah Deghayes

Amer Deghayes (Vice News)
Jaffar Deghayes, who at the age of 16 became possibly the youngest Briton to travel to Syria, went to the Middle East with his brother Amer, 20, last year from their home in Brighton. Their older brother Abdullah joined them in January but was killed earlier this year.
After Abdullah's death Jaffar posted a picture of him on Facebook with the message "may the eyes of the cowards never sleep". Amer, who was fighting with the al-Qaeda affiliated group Jabhat Al-Nusra, appeared on Newsnight via an Internet video link saying he "couldn't care less" if he was regarded as a terrorist.

Nasser and Aseel Muthana

In June it emerged that Nasser Muthana, a 20-year-old medical student from Cardiff, and his brother Aseel, 17, were in Syria fighting for Isil. Nasser appeared in a recruitment video – the first Isil propaganda video produced in English – saying he was being filmed in Syria but promised to take the fight to Iraq. Last week he posted a video of damage done to a Syrian army base saying: "I'm getting good with these bombs."

Their father Ahmed was told by police in November that Nasser, who he thought was at a seminar in Shrewsbury, learnt his oldest son had been recruited to a terrorist cell in Syria in November, only to find his second son followed him in February. He claims his children have been "brainwashed."

Reyaad Khan & Nasser Muthana

A 20-year-old friend of the Muthana brothers who also appeared in the propaganda video with them, warning he had "fireworks" for the US if they returned to combat in Iraq. Khan, from Cardiff, once talked about becoming Britain's first Asian prime minister, but now uses Twitter to boast about his role in the "execution" of prisoners in Syria, prompting calls for him to be prosecuted for war crimes if he is ever caught.

Aine Davis

Born and brought up in Hammersmith, west London, Davis was a drug dealer and gang member who converted to Islam and was further radicalised during a spell in prison.
Earlier this month his wife, Amal El-Wahhabi, was convicted of funding terrorism after she persuaded a friend to fly to Istanbul with £16,000 in her underwear intended for Davis who is thought to be in Syria. When police searched his London home they found speeches by hate preachers Abu Hamza and Anwar al-Awlaki on his iPod.

Abdul Waheed Majeed

The first Briton to carry out a suicide bombing in Syria, Majeed, 41, drove a truck loaded with explosives into the Aleppo prison in February.

Described as a "very dear brother" by the hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, whom he used to drive to a mosque in Crawley, West Sussex twice a week, Majeed killed dozens of Syrians when he carried out the bombing for the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat Al-Nusra group. He had kept in touch with his wife and children in Crawley via Skype, and worked as a contractor for the Highways Agency.
At least 19 Britons, including one suicide bomber, are known to have died in the fighting.

And,let the british burn. They allowed islam in that country. Let it burn baby let it burn.


The King.

kwa hiyo huyo "mkristo" john anapigana bega kwa bega na isis?!

NDIVO ilivyo na kwa msaada wa vyanzo mbalimbali vya habari mpiganaji ktk haya makundi kupewa jukumu la kutekeleza tukio la mauaji ya kukata shingo, lazima awe ni mtu aliyeaminiwa sana. La sivo unapewa kazi ya kujitoa mhanga ambayo mhusika naye anakufa kwenye tukio. Kifupi jamaa si tu ni mpiganaji wa mstari wa mbele bali ni kiongozi.

Waingereza gani wana "madevu"?

Mleta mada mbona huwalaani wayahudi waliyemteka nyara mungu wetu badae wakampa makofi na kumtundika msalabani baada ya kumla GOTI

Mkuu,
Nadhani katika mada nilioleta hakuna mahali nimetaja kama mm ni wadini fulani. Bali nimeongelea ugaidi na siamini kama ugaidi ni dini bali uhalifu kama ulivyo uhalifu mwingine. Ndo maana nikasema ktk hili hakuna aliyesalama awe mkristu, Muislam ama mpagani. Mfano kwako wewe ambaye unahisi ugaiidi ni dini umeenda sokoni akatokea mwendawazimu wa dini yako kajilipua nawe ukiwa maeneo hayo wewe utabaki salama kwa kuwa yule mwendawazimu amelenga kundi fulani. Ni mara ngapi tumesikia mashehe wakimwagiwa tindikali, makanisa kulipuliwa? Hebu ifike mahali tutofautishe uovu na dini. Asante.
