Online post calls for release of convicted terrorist to save Japanese ISIS hostage

We found out that ISIS beheaded one of the Japanese hostages earlier this week after a video file was posted online Saturday showing an image of a Japanese hostage beheaded for everyone to see. This image was posted to grab the attention of the Japanese prime minister. The reason this happened was because Japan refused ISIS's demand that Japan pay them two million dollars to save their two hostages. Although one life was already lost due to the beheading, ISIS was altering a new ultimatum for the one life still living. The Japanese government looked into everything to make sure it is creditable, and they found that it was very true, although now the Japanese government is not sure how the will respond to the new demand yet.
