It appears that ISIS has gone ahead with its threat to execute American journalist Steven Sotloff, posting a video of it online on Tuesday. This despite pleas from his mother aimed directly at ISIS’ top leader, seeking mercy for her son, a freelance journalist captured in northern Syria a year ago.
Word of Mr. Sotloff’s beheading came two weeks after James Foley, another American journalist, was beheaded by ISIS, which warned that Sotloff would be the next to die.
