Japan Reacts Islamic State Hostage Crisis
TOKYO, JAPAN - JANUARY 25: Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida is surrounded by media reporters on arrival at Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's official residence to attend an emergency ministerial meeting on January 25, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. A video of freelance journalist Kenji Goto, who was taken hostage by the extremist Islamic State group, was posted on the Internet on January 24, in which the audio portion and photos claim that another Japanese hostage, Haruna Yukawa, had been executed. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the level of authenticity of the video is high. In the video, the Islamic militant group demanded the exchange of Goto and Sajida al Rishawi, imprisoned in Jordan on charges that she was involved in a bombing case that occurred in the country's capital, Amman, in 2005.
