UN SECURITY COUNCIL CONDEMNS MURDER OF STEVEN SOTLOFF

8.9.2014 (Danas, Beta, AFP) - The UN Security Council yesterday strongly condemned the "heinous and cowardly" murder of American journalist Steven Sotloff in Syria where he was beheaded by the Islamic state fighters.

 

The Islamic state released this week a video of Sotloff's execution, two weeks after the similar video of US journalist James Foley's killing was posted online.

„The members of the Security Council stressed again that ISIL must be defeated and that the intolerance, violence and hatred it espouses must be stamped out", the statement reads.

 

The Security Council further stated that such acts of barbarism stiffen the resolve of the international community to counter ISIL, Al-Nusra Front and other groups associated with Al-Qaida.

Sotloff was a 31-year old free lance reporter, born in Miami, Florida. He worked for magazines Time and Foreign Policy. He disappeared in Syria in August 2013.
