British media reacts to James Foley alleged executioner’s accent
August 22, 2014
The man who reportedly killed U.S. photojournalist James Foley in a video released by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been reported by a number of British media outlets to have a British accent.
“If the British-accented IS fighter in the video is confirmed as British, he will be seen as the most extreme example yet of a fighter travelling from the UK to take part in brutal violence as part of the militant Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) movement,” an article in the Telegraph read.
