ISIL claims killed Japanese hostage: Video
2015-01-25
[Iran Press TV] A video has been posted on You Tube showing Japanese freelance journalist Kenji Goto holding the photo of a dead body allegedly belonging to Haruna Yukawa, the second Japanese captive who was held by the ISIL Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorists.

In the footage which was later removed from You Tube, Goto says that ISIL wants him swapped for a female member of the terror group who is thought to be behind an attack on a hotel in Jordan in 2005.

The ISIL had given Japan's government a 72-hour deadline to pay off a 200-million dollar ransom for releasing the captives.

The deadline ended on Friday. After the deadline expired, the bully boyz posted an online warning, saying the "countdown has begun" for the group to kill the two Japanese hostages.

The ISIS/ISIL may be trying to catch or entrap Abe = Japan in a "Catch 22" - any hardline response by Japan agz the IS andor Japanese Muslims may only invite stronger retaliatory measures by the IS, e.g. justification to launch Jihad agz Japan???
