BREAKING: ISIS Beheads American Reporter Steven Sotloff – Update: Beheaded By Same British Jihadist Who Executed James Foley…

BEIRUT (AP) — An Internet video purports to show the beheading of U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff by the Islamic State group.
Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen in Syrian in August 2013 until he appeared in a video released online last month by the Islamic State group that showed the beheading of fellow American journalist James Foley.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against the backdrop of an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the group in Iraq.
In the video distributed Tuesday and entitled “A Second Message to America,” Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is beheaded by an Islamic State fighter.
Update: Via Daily Mail:

The video appears to show the same British fighter who killed James Foley. He threatens a new hostage, Briton David Haines.

Wonder how many more Americans Obozzo will kill before he decides to erase this scum off the earth.

Are we sure the beheading was performed today and not much earlier? Jihadi devils can record and release tape as convenient for propaganda purposes. There is no evidence that complying with any of their demands would result in the release of any remaining hostages. Who is to say any remaining hostages remain breathing - and haven't already met their fate?
