Islamic State terrorists last night released a fourth propaganda video featuring British hostage John Cantlie, in which he blamed the UK government for beheadings by jihadis in Syria.
In a video clip posted online, the abducted photojournalist told how the terror group ‘eagerly awaited’ a ground war with America and its allies. He also accuses western governments of spending millions of pounds on ‘Hollywood-style’ military action instead of paying ransoms to his captors.
In last night’s professionally-produced video, the 43-year-old captive – wearing a Guantanamo Bay-style orange jumpsuit – said a battle against the fanatics where no one ‘gets their hands dirty’ was impossible. So far, a 40-nation coalition led by the US and including Britain as well as Arab nations have carried out air strikes while ruling out combat troops.
Mr Cantlie, who appeared to be delivering the message under duress, added that the beheading videos were a ‘win-win’ for the militant group.
