French Hostage Reportedly Beheaded In Algeria
French Hostage Reportedly Beheaded In Algeria
PARIS -- A terrorism watchdog says Algerian extremists allied with the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria have decapitated a French hostage after France ignored their demand to stop airstrikes in Iraq, according to a video released by a U.S. terrorism watchdog.
A group calling itself Jund al-Khilafah said after abducting Herve Gourdel on Sunday that he would be killed within 24 hours unless France ended its airstrikes against ISIS fighters in Iraq. The French government has insisted it will not back down.
