News on the street is that they just beheaded the second journalist, Steven Sotloff. He was the one shown after James Foley was killed, where the ISIS idiots claimed he’d be next.
Drudge linked to some article saying that the latest beheading video was posted in error. They probably killed both journalists at the same time and figured they’d release them when (as expected) the US didn’t agree to their demands. Even the quote “Obama, it’s me again” looks designed to make it look like the slayings took place on separate occasions. It’s like “The Price is Right” where they tape 3-4 shows per day. They may have a whole bunch of beheadings already video’d.
Islamist militias in Libya took control of nearly a dozen commercial jetliners last month, and western intelligence agencies recently issued a warning that the jets could be used in terrorist attacks across North Africa.
So, arranged by TPTB to scare us into WWIII (the “sophistication” seems to suggest so), or a genuine deepening of the situation?
