WASHINGTON
Bernadette Meehan, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, said Tuesday that U.S. intelligence has been working to determine the authenticity of a video purporting to show the beheading of another American journalist.
Following brutal beheading of James Foley, Islamic State militants released a video Tuesday that shows the beheading of 31-year-old Steven Sotloff, a freelance journalist captured by the militant group in Syria last year.
Sotloff was shown in the video that captured Foley’s murder. In that recording, a militant said that Sotloff would be killed if the U.S. does not stop strikes on the group in Iraq.
In Sotloff's video that was released Tuesday on the Internet, IS threatens to kill U.K. national David Haines if the U.K. does not stop cooperating with the U.S. against the insurgent group.
