ISIS Video: New Beheading Footage Has Terrorist with American Accent

ISIS has apparently released a new video, purportedly showing the beheadings of Ethiopian Christians in Libya. The masked terrorist speaking in the video had a North American accent.

This undated image made from a video released by Islamic State militants, Sunday, April 19, 2015, appears to show the killing of a group of captured Ethiopian Christians in Libya. The 29-minute video released online Sunday purportedly shows two groups of captives. It says one group is held by an IS affiliate in eastern Libya and the other by an affiliate in the south. A masked fighter delivers a long statement before the video switches between footage that purportedly shows the captives in the south being shot dead and the captives in the east being beheaded on a beach.

ISIS has apparently released a new video, purportedly showing the beheadings of 35 Ethiopian Christians in Libya. 

“Muslim blood shed under the hands of your religions is not cheap,” a masked terrorist says in the footage, which was uploaded on YouTube for a period of time on Sunday. “To the nation of the cross: We are now back again.” The man has a notable North American accent.

The video sparked international outcry, including condemnation from the White House.
