Associated Press Now Questioning The Authenticity Of ISIS Japanese Hostages Video

This file image taken from an online video released by the Islamic State group’s al-Furqan media arm on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015, purports to show the group threatening to kill two Japanese hostages that the militants identify as Kenji Goto Jogo, left, and Haruna Yukawa, right, unless a $200 million ransom is paid within 72 hours. Yukawa went to Syria to train with fighters, and Goto is a freelance journalist respected for his reporting on refugees and children in war zones. (AP Photo/File) The Associated Press

  • We need to blame ISIS for any terrorist act because realy they are just in Syria or being used to killl Kurds and are being paid by Israel and we know this because why the Syrian army goes after ISIS we find that Israel bombs Assad forces.

    The only terrorist caught in the USA over the past ten years were all caught using entrapment where the CIA sets up a sting operation but without any arrests then what would they tell the sheep in the USA that they are protecting them all from and why does it cost so much in taxes to keep protecting people
