“You have proudly donated $100 million to kill our women and children, to destroy the homes of the Muslims. So the life of this Japanese citizen will cost you $100 million,” the militant says.
The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, who is currently in Israel reacted to the threat saying:
“It is unforgivable and I feel strong resentment. Extremism and Islam are completely different things.”
ISIS has captured and publicly beheaded four foreigners – Americans, James Foley and Steven Sotloff and Brits, David Haines and Alan Henning.
