IS claims beheading of second Japanese captive

                    IS claims beheading of second Japanese captive
Japan - AFP - 1/31/2015 - The Islamic State group claimed in a video that it has beheaded a second Japanese hostage, drawing international condemnation and outrage from a visibly upset Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who denounced it as a 'heinous and despicable' act.
The apparent killing of 47-year-old Kenji Goto -- the second beheading of a Japanese hostage in a week -- was announced in a video released online that included no mention of a Jordanian pilot also being held by IS, whom the jihadist group has threatened to kill.
Abe vowed to 'never forgive terrorists' after news of the video broke early Sunday morning in Japan.
'I am extremely angry about these heinous and despicable terrorist acts. We will never forgive terrorists,' the premier, who appeared on the verge of tears, told reporters.
'We will cooperate with the international community to make them atone for their crimes.'
Goto’s distraught mother said she 'can’t find the words' to describe her son’s death.
'I can’t find the words to describe how I feel about my son’s very sad death,' a sobbing Junko Ishido told reporters.
US President Barack Obama led international condemnation of the 'heinous murder'.
'Through his reporting, Mr Goto courageously sought to convey the plight of the Syrian people to the outside world,' Obama said.
A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon also condemned the 'barbaric murder', and said the death 'underscores the violence that so many have been subjected to in Iraq and Syria'.
