IS Release New Video Of Captive John Cantlie
Islamic State (IS) militants have released a second video featuring British journalist John Cantlie, who has been held hostage since 2012.
The video is less than a week after Mr Cantlie appeared in another IS released video.
The six-minute video follows a similar theme to the previous video, in which Mr Cantlie appears to be reading from a prepared script and saying that he has been abandoned by his government.
Mr Cantlie had been kidnapped in Syria in July 2012 and held for a week, but he managed to escape with the help of the Free Syrian Army. He returned to the region later that same year and until last week's video, had not been seen since.
To date IS have killed three Western hostage – British aid worker David Haines and American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. Each murder was filmed and posted online.
