ISIS Beheads American Journalist Steven Sotloff

ISIS have released a video of the beheading of US hostage Steven Sotloff.

It is believed the same British man who executed American journalist, James Foley was responsible for the gruesome act.

The Obama White House was caught off-guard by the killing today.

Last Friday, ISIS released the third edition of its glossy message magazineDabiq.

In that magazine, ISIS justified the beheading of James Foley and blamed it on President Obama’s decision to order airstrikes on ISIS positions in Iraq.

Sotloff was reportedly held captive in Syria. Last week President Obama admitted that he has no strategy for dealing with ISIS in Syria.

Update:

When asked yes or no if President Obama has a strategy for ISIS, Earnest says he’s been “hard at work.”
