"This shocking video, if genuine, is devastating for the loved ones
of James Foley and chilling for the family, friends and colleagues of
those journalists who are still missing in Syria and northern Iraq,
feared captured by IS militants," said Margaret Huang, Amnesty
International USA's Deputy Executive Director of Campaigns and Programs.
"It is a war crime and both those who carried out the killing and those who ordered it must face justice."
"It is imperative that all warring countries and others with interests in the region use all diplomatic means possible to ensure that no more journalists - or others carrying out their legitimate work in the area – are killed for doing their job," said Said Boumedouha, Deputy Director of Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Program.
