Terrifying Letter ISIS Militants Wrote Journalist’s Parents Before He Was Beheaded

James Foley, an American photojournalist was brutally slaughtered by the Islamic State Organisation  after he was held in captivity for two years and the killing was publicized in a graphic video uploaded on YouTube.

According to reports, Foley’s captors sent a mail to his parents stating that stating that Foley would be “executed” and declared Foley's death would be in retaliation for recent US airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq.

The ISIS militants had made a sole demand for a ransom of 100 million euros (about $132 million) or the release of unspecified prisoners held by the United States and no negotiations for a decrease in the amount were allowed.

Foley's parents had managed to gather almost $5million together in the hopes that the jihadists would accept, but he was killed after the last contact they had with his parents.

The militants are currently holding holding another American journalist, Steven Sotloff, whose life they have also threatened.

Here is the letter they sent to the journalist’s parents:
