Over the past six months Islamic jihadists in Syria have taken at least ten hostages from Western countries, including Spain, Denmark and France. The hostages were traded for ransom, but in the wake of the alleged execution of journalist James Foley the latest captives may suffer a more gruesome fate as the propaganda war ramps up ahead of a U.S. invasion of Syria.
The next victim will likely be Steven Sotloff, a freelance journalist who has contributed to Time and Foreign Policy. He was taken captive a year ago on the border of Turkey and Syria. Following the supposed execution of Foley, ISIS announced they will behead Sotloff if the United States continues its air strikes in Iraq.
Although Obama insisted the U.S. does not plan to enter Syria, the administration later said several dozen special forces troops were on the ground there.
Additionally, the Pentagon has announced it plans to send ground troops “to better secure State Department facilities in Baghdad from possible attack by Islamic State militants,” according toABC News Radio.
Establishment Media: ISIS a Threat to “Global Community”
According to the establishment media, ISIS is goading the U.S. into invading Syria. “What the terrorists are trying to do is to intimidate and to some degree provoke the United States,” former ambassador James Jeffrey told Fox News.
