On Saturday ISIS released video of the beheading of Japanese journalist hostage Kenji Goto.
In the video “jihadi John” offered this message to Japan before he beheaded Goto.
“To the Japanese government, you, like the foolish satanic coalition have yet to understand that we, by Allah’s grace, are Islamic caliphate with authority and power, an entire army thirsty for your blood.”
But – There was no mention of captured Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh who was captured in December when his plane was downed in Syria.

Lieutenant Kasasbeh, 27, from Karak Governorate, was captured by Islamic State militants when his plane went down near Raqqa, Syria, on December 24.
In December ISIS released video and photos of the Jordanian pilot they reportedly captured after they shot down his plane.
This was the first coalition aircraft shot down by ISIS.
