STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: "Stay tuned" for plans to combat ISIS, a State Department official says
- A video has emerged showing the 31-year-old journalist being beheaded
- Footage threatens the life of British captive David Haines
- ISIS beheaded journalist James Foley; in that video, the terrorist group threatened to kill Sotloff
In the video posted
Tuesday online, Sotloff says -- in a message surely scripted by his
captors -- that he is "paying the price" for U.S. military intervention.
The intelligence
community in the United States is working to confirm the authenticity of
the video, and the journalist's family was waiting for that formal
authentication that Sotloff has been killed.
"The family knows of the video and is grieving privately," family spokesman Barak Barfi said.
Who is ISIS?
The killing of Sotloff
follows a threat last month by ISIS made during the videotaped beheading
of American journalist James Foley. The latest video threatens the life
of another man, who the terror group identifies as David Haines of
Britain.
A masked ISIS figure in
the new video speaks to U.S. President Barack Obama, telling him, "Just
as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue
to strike the necks of your people."
The Islamic State has
thrived and mutated during the civil war in Syria. It swept into Iraq in
June, seizing large swaths of the country's Sunni-dominated northern
and western provinces.
Obama ordered targeted
airstrikes in Iraq to begin in early August after ISIS fighters began
targeting ethnic Yazidis and launching attacks toward the Kurdish
regional capital of Irbil.
ISIS appeared to date
the execution video of Sotloff, referencing specific U.S. military
actions in recent days, including U.S. airstrikes that helped over the
weekend to break the siege of Amerli -- a northern Iraqi town home to
thousands of minority Shiite Turkmen.
Intelligence officials are analyzing the video, trying to answer some key questions, a senior U.S. administration official said.
Among the questions, the
official said: When was it shot? Where was it shot? Is the killer in
the Sotloff video the same one in the Foley video?
Until they answer those questions, the official said the administration does not want to speculate.
It's believed ISIS is
still holding a "small number" of Americans hostage, said the official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity.
ISIS: 'Back off and leave our people alone'
ISIS claims to behead second American
In the new video, the militant threatens the life of Haines, who is shown kneeling with the militant standing behind him.
"We take this
opportunity to warn those governments who've entered this evil alliance
of America against the Islamic State to back off and leave our people
alone," the militant says.
CNN could not immediately confirm who Haines is, or when he was taken captive.
But the Washington Post reported
he was an aid worker abducted in March 2013. The newspaper, citing
unnamed aid workers involved in efforts to gain his release, said he was
abducted near a refugee camp in the northern Syrian province of Idlib.
British Prime Minister
David Cameron told reporters he was aware of reports about the video and
called Sotloff's killing "an absolutely disgusting and despicable act."
Who was Sotloff?
Sotloff disappeared
while reporting from Syria in August 2013, but his family kept the news
secret, fearing harm to him if they went public. Out of public view, the
family and government agencies had been trying to gain his release for
the past year.
Last week, Sotloff's mother, Shirley Sotloff, released a video pleading with ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi not to kill her son.
"Steven is a journalist
who traveled to the Middle East to cover the suffering of Muslims at the
hands of tyrants. Steven is a loyal and generous son, brother and
grandson," she said. "He is an honorable man and has always tried to
help the weak."
Her plea was met with taunting responses on social media by ISIS supporters.
Sotloff, 31, grew up in
South Florida with his mother, father and younger sister. He majored in
journalism at the University of Central Florida. His personal Facebook
page lists musicians including the Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Miles
Davis and movies including "Lawrence of Arabia" and "The Big Lebowski"
as favorites. On his Twitter page, he playfully identifies himself as a
"stand-up philosopher from Miami."
He graduated from
another college, began taking Arabic classes and subsequently picked up
freelance writing work for a number of publications, including Time,
Foreign Policy, World Affairs and The Christian Science Monitor. His
travels took him to Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey -- among other
countries -- and eventually Syria.
ISIS blames Obama for Sotloff beheading
ISIS captive's mom: Please release son
American journalist Steven Sotloff, left, talks to Libyan rebels on the Al Dafniya front line in Misrata, Libya, in June 2011.
Editor Nancy Gibbs said the magazine's staff is "shocked and deeply saddened" by the reports of his death.
"He gave his life so
readers would have access to information from some of the most dangerous
places in the world," she said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him
and his family."
Sotloff brings the number of journalists killed in Syria to at least 70, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
More than 80 have been kidnapped in Syria since the civil war began, with many going unpublicized, the group said.
"We condemn in the
strongest terms possible the murder of journalist Steven Sotloff. He,
like James Foley, went to Syria to tell a story. They were civilians,
not representatives of any government. Their murders are war crimes and
those who committed them must be brought to justice swiftly," CPJ said.
Response from the White House
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said the administration "has obviously been watching very
carefully since this threat against Mr. Sotloff's life was originally
made a few weeks ago."
A top U.S. State Department official told CNN's Christiane Amanpour to "stay tuned" on U.S. plans to combat the organization.
"We are putting the
features in place, developing a broad regional coalition, a broad
international coalition, working to get a new Iraqi government stood up,
working to get our plans in place. So stay tuned," said Brett McGurk,
the deputy U.S. assistant secretary of state for Iraq and Iraq.
Obama, who was briefed
on the videotaped execution of Sotloff, came under fire from Republicans
and Democrats who called on the President to take stronger against
ISIS, also known as ISIL.
The criticism came a
week after Obama said, "We don't have a strategy yet" to deal with ISIS
in Syria. Obama said he has asked America's top defense officials to
prepare "a range of options."
"Mr. President, if you
can't come up with a strategy, at least tell us what the goal is
regarding ISIL," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, said ISIS must be stopped.
"We must use every tool
at our disposal, short of introducing ground forces in combat roles, to
put an end to the threat they pose to our national security," she said.

Sotloff is the second American journalist to be killed by ISIS, and his death comes two weeks after James Foley was executed in a similar video.
In the video entitled 'A Second Message to America,' Sotloff appears in a orange jumpsuit before he is beheaded by an Islamic State fighter.
The executioner appears to be the same man who killed Foley – known as ‘Jihadi John’ - and tells the camera: 'I’m back, Obama, and I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State.'
He also threatens to kill a Briton held hostage by the group next. The identity of the hostage is widely available online, but MailOnline is not identifying him at the request of the British government.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Wednesday that the world was 'outraged' at what they had seen.
'We are all outraged at reports from Iraq about the brutal killing of civilians by ISIL, including yesterday's (Tuesdays) reported brutal beheading of another journalist,' he said.

British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the video, calling it ‘an absolutely disgusting and despicable act’.
He said he will chair a COBR meeting on
the threat to a UK citizen tomorrow, and added: ‘My thoughts and prayers
are with Mr Sotloff’s family and friends tonight as they deal with this
appalling and tragic situation.’
‘We have already been working hard to
keep British people safe and we will continue to do all we can to
protect our country and our people from these barbaric terrorists.’
President
Obama this afternoon boarded Air Force One and flew to Estonia ahead of
a NATO summit without addressing the nation. The White House said the
President's 'thoughts and prayers' were with the Sotloff family.
Sotloff,
31, from Miami, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines,
vanished in Syria in August 2013 and was not seen again until he
appeared in a video released online last month that showed Foley's
beheading. He was the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
In the new video that shows the killing of Sotloff, the executioner points his knife menacingly at the camera as he speaks.
Clad
in the same black garb he wore during Foley’s execution, the killer has
a pistol strapped under his arm in a shoulder holster. The black flag
of the Islamic State can be seen waving in the background.
'I'M BACK OBAMA': MASKED EXECUTIONERS CHILLING THREAT TO CAMERA
Executioner:
'I’m back Obama, and I’m back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic state, because of your insistence on continuing your bombings and … on Mosul Dam, despite our serious warnings. You Obama, have but to gain from your actions but another American citizen. So just as your missiles continue to strike out people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.
'We take this opportunity to warn those governments that enter this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State to back off and leave our people alone'
Sotloff
calmly reads a statement moments before his murder. ‘I’m sure you know
exactly who I am by now and why I am appearing,' he says.
He
adds to the camera: ‘Obama, your foreign policy of intervention in Iraq
was supposed to be for preservation of American lives and interests, so
why is it that I am paying the price of your interference with my
life?’
While he speaks, a militant calmly holds a knife at his side and stands next to Sotloff.
इराक़: एक और अमरीकी की 'हत्या'
बुधवार, 3 सितंबर, 2014
इराक़ और सीरिया में सक्रिय
चरमपंथी संगठन इस्लामिक स्टेट ने इंटरनेट पर एक वीडियो जारी किया है,
जिसमें अमरीकी पत्रकार स्टीवेन सोटलॉफ़ की गला काटकर हत्या करने का दावा
किया गया है.
इस वीडियो में पत्रकार स्टीवेन सोटलॉफ को नारंगी
रंग के जंपसूट में घुटनों के बल बैठे हुए दिखाया गया है. उनके बगल में
इस्लामिक स्टेट का एक चरमपंथी हाथ में चाकू पकड़े खड़ा है.साल 2013 में सोटलॉफ सीरिया से लापता हो गए थे. पिछले महीने वे एक वीडियो के आख़िर में दिखाई दिए थे जिसमें एक अन्य अमरीकी पत्रकार जेम्स फॉली की हत्या को दिखाया गया था.
फॉली की हत्या के बाद सोटलॉफ की मां ने इस्लामिक स्टेट के नेता अबू बकर अल-बग़दादी से अपने बेटे को रिहा करने की अपील की थी.
व्हाइट हाउस के प्रवक्ता जोस अर्नेस्ट का कहना है कि अमरीका इन रिपोर्टों की जांच कर रहा हैं.
अर्नेस्ट ने इस वीडियो की सच्चाई को लेकर सतर्कता बरतने की सलाह दी है. ब्रिटेन के प्रधानमंत्री डेविड कैमरन ने इसे 'घृणित कार्रवाई' बताया है.
ISIS के वीडियो में अमेरिका के एक अन्य पत्रकार का सिर कलम करने का दावा
सीरिया और इराक के आतंकवादी संगठन इस्लामिक स्टेट (आईएसआईएस) ने मंगलवार
को सोशल मीडिया पर एक वीडियो जारी किया जिसमें दावा किया गया है कि अमेरिका
के एक अन्य पत्रकार स्टीवन सोटलोफ का सिर कलम कर दिया गया है.
अमेरिका के अधिकारियों ने कहा कि अमेरिका की खुफिया एजेंसियां वीडियो की वास्तविकता की जांच कर रही हैं.
वीडियो का शीषर्क है, 'अमेरिका को दूसरा संदेश'. इसमें सेटलॉफ का सिर काटते हुए दिखाया गया है. पत्रकार को यह कहते हुए दिखाया गया है कि वह इराक में अमेरिकी दखल की 'कीमत चुका रहे हैं'. इसने ब्रिटेन के बंदी डेविड हेन्स की जिंदगी पर भी खतरा बताया है.
यह खबर व्हाइट हाउस की डेली होने वाली प्रेस कांफ्रेंस के दौरान फैली.
व्हाइट ने कांफ्रेंस में बताया, 'मैंने आज इन खबरों को नहीं देखा. मेरा मानना है कि जब मैं यहां आया उसके कुछ मिनट के अंदर ही यह सब हुआ होगा. उन्होंने कहा कि अमेरिका ने सोटलॉफ को बचाने के प्रयास में काफी समय और संसाधन लगाया. उन्होंने कहा, 'मैं वीडियो या खबर की प्रामाणिकता की पुष्टि कर पाने की स्थिति में नहीं हूं.'
