Islamic State Releases New Video of British Hostage 
----------------------------------------------------


 
The Islamic State has released a third propaganda video of British
hostage John Cantlie. Cantlie, a photojournalist whose work appeared in
Getty and other outlets, is shown seated at a table in an orange
jumpsuit. He recites what appears to be a prepared script criticizing
U.S.-led airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq and Syria, saying, "Air power is
good at taking out specific targets, but it is not much use at taking
and holding ground."
