The full story behind this shocking Islamic State video has been revealed for the first time:
Her son, Jim, had been missing since November 2012 and was being held captive by a new and brutal terrorist group in Syria, the Islamic State. Sporadic communication from the kidnappers had gone quiet.
Diane and John Foley speak to reporters in 2014 after their son was killed by the Islamic State, apparently in retaliation for US air strikes in Iraq. Picture: AP Photo/Jim Cole.A horrific video of American journalist James Foley as a hostage of the Islamic State killer known as Jihadi John shocked the world when it was released in 2014.Counterterror chiefs recognised the accent and mannerisms of Jihadi John immediately and knew “within hours” it was the man they had once tried to recruit.
Mr Motka and Mr Henin provide shocking insights into what the hostages suffered, including Guantanomo-style sleep deprivation, stress positions and a “royal rumble” where the starved hostages were forced to fight for the entertainment of their keepers. Filmmaker, Richard Kerbaj, said the documentary came out of wanting to tell the "definitive story" of IS including testimony from those who usually work “in the shadows”.
