Kenji Goto Dead: Beheaded by ISIS in Video on Saturday, Reports Say

Kenji Goto, the Japanese journalist captured in Syria, was purportedly beheaded in a new video from ISIS, or the Islamic State.

This still image taken from a video posted on YouTube by jihadists on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015, purports to show a still photo of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto holding what appears to be a photo of Jordanian pilot 1st Lt. Mu'ath al-Kaseasbeh. Both are being held hostage by the Islamic State militant group. The still image was overdubbed with audio which condemns Jordan for not releasing Sajida al-Rishawi, saying that unless she is freed within 24 hours both will be killed. The Arabic subtitle reads "I only have 24 hours left to live." The Associated Press could not independently verify the video. AP Photo

Kenji Goto, the Japanese journalist captured in Syria, was purportedly beheaded in a new video from ISIS, or the Islamic State.

The terror organization had threatened to kill Goto earlier this week unless Japan agreed to its demands.

A video of Goto’s killing was leaked on Saturday but it’s unclear when the video was filmed.

Goto, 47, leaves behind his wife and three children.
