LIVELEAK: Shinzo Abe states Haruna Yukawa has been Beheaded by ISIS

Haruna Yukawa, a Japanese military contractor who was taken hostage by the Islamic state (IS) has been beheaded. Shinzo Abe; the Japanese prime minister has reported that ISIS sent a video footage of Haruna's crude execution. Stating that it was truly horrific. The Japanese government failed to pay for Haruna's ransom (the deadline was Friday), which was the reason for his execution. President Barrack Obama says that the United States will stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Japan from now on; he has also called out for the release of the final hostage, Kenji Goto who was taken captive alongside with Haruna. Yet, I doubt ISIS has taken Obama's announcement into consideration. The second tape, which was released by ISIS after Haruna's execution, portrayed Goto pleading for his life and stating that his cellmate has been brutally murdered. Also, this time ISIS has decided to exchange Goto with another captive (a female) who is being held hostage by Islamist extremists in Jordan. Images of Goto holding a photograph of Haruna's corpse have been released as well. The video footage of Haruna's execution was taken for investigation on Saturday. The footage had a different format this time. Regardless of the video's format, the execution was said to be completely real. According to Shinzo, Haruna's execution left him speechless. Shinzo has described the killing of Haruna as an "outrageous and unforgivable act." He has also called out for the release of Kenji Goto. As for Yukawa's family, his father spoke out to the Japanese media. He believes that Haruna's execution was staged; he believes his son is still alive.
