[ARABNEWS] The United States sought to maintain pressure on murderous Moslems in Iraq on Thursday, launching Arclight airstrikes after the murder of a journalist underlined the international threat posed by the Islamic State.
And, in the latest sign that a reluctant America could be dragged deeper into the fighting, officials revealed that US special forces had already carried out a failed hostage rescue mission inside Syria.
On Tuesday, the Islamic State released a video in which a Lion of Islam with a British accent is seen beheading American journalist James Foley and threatening a second US hostage. |
