The fighter is reportedly clad in black and is shown wearing a balaclava. He issues threats to other European nations like France and Belgium. The threat is that the ISIS would attack with car bombs and explosive charges, and behead them. In another video, the Islamic State has warned that the lives of a Japanese hostage and Jordanian pilot hangs in the balance – they have less than "24 hours left to live." Once Sajida al-Rishawi, a woman who has been held by Jordan for nine years, is released, the men would be set free.
The woman, incidentally, had admitted to her role in deadly attacks at Amman hotels that killed at least 57 people. The Islamic State looks upon her as a “sister of the Caliphate.” She was sentenced to death in 2006, but, in that year, Jordan imposed a moratorium on the death penalty.
The Japanese hostage held by ISIS is , Kenji Goto Jogo, a freelance journalist – there is a demand of a ransom of $200 million from Japan in exchange of his release. The Jordanian pilot is Mu'adh Safi Yusuf al-Kasasibah – he was captured by ISIS in Syria in December and has been held by them since then.
