Japan PM vows saving second #ISIS hostage Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe condemned strongly the killing of a Japanese captive by Islamic State militants, calling to release the other one. He emphasized that Japan would not give in to terrorism. Such an act of terrorism is outrageous and impermissible, which causes me nothing but strong indignation, Abe said. Again, I strongly demand that Mr. Kenji Goto not be harmed and be immediately released. The government of Japan will, in its entirety, do its utmost in order to have him released. Goto appeared in video saying the militants would release him in exchange for the release of Sajida al-Rishawi, an Iraqi held in Jordan. He stressed that militants have canceled ransom option. Abe said that he had spoken to Jordans King Abdullah who had no comment on the Islamic State demand for the release of al-Rishawi. R.G #Al_Elam
