James Foley’s Parents Release ISIS Email Received Days Before Killing

Posted by | August 22, 2014 11:07 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


Militants sent an email to James Foley’s parents a week before he was beheaded. It says, in part:

You were given many chances to negotiate the release of your people via cash transactions as other governments have accepted,
We have also offered prisoner exchanges to free the Muslims currently in your detention like our sister Dr Afia Sidiqqi, however you proved very quickly to us that this is NOT what you are interested in.

And it warns Americans:

Now you return to bomb the Muslims of Iraq once again, this time resorting to Arial attacks and “proxy armies”, all the while cowardly shying away from a face-to-face confrontation!

Today our swords are unsheathed towards you, GOVERNMENT AND CITIZENS ALIKE! AND WE WILL NOT STOP UNTILL WE QUENCH OUR THIRST FOR YOUR BLOOD.

    That picture is the saddest thing I’ve seen in ages. I hope his parents can find peace at some point.

      They were on the Today Show this morning and the grief on Mrs. Foley’s face was heart rending. I’m so sorry for their loss.
