Video purports to show Japanese hostage execution

The recording appeared to show Japanese captive Haruna Yukawa being killed

Japan has strongly criticised a recording purporting to announce the execution of a Japanese citizen held by Islamic State militants and demanded the immediate release of another captive depicted as appearing on the image.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, in a brief televised statement, said the recording appeared to show captive Haruna Yukawa being killed.

"This is an outrageous and unacceptable act," Mr Suga said. "We strongly demand the prompt release of the remaining Mr. Kenji Goto, without harm," he added.

Mr Suga read the statement and declined to take questions.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had previously vowed to stand firm after the Islamic State group threatened to kill the two Japanese nationals, saying he would not freeze a multi-million dollar aid package.

His remarks came last Tuesday, several hours after the jihadist group released a video threatening to kill the two hostages, Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa, if Tokyo did not pay a $200m ransom within 72 hours.

An IS militant said in that video the ransom demand was to compensate for non-military aid that Mr Abe pledged on Saturday to countries affected by the militant group's bloody expansion in Iraq and Syria.

Japan set up two teams to handle the hostage crisis, one within the cabinet and one within the foreign ministry.

Mr Yukawa was captured in August outside Aleppo in Syria.

Mr Goto, who had returned to Syria in late October to try to help Mr Yukawa, had been missing since then.

During WW2 the Japaneses were feared because they would chop off heads. This is same tactic used by ISIS

I heard it from some older relatives but this practise has been documented.

An Example of Japanese Atrocities in Singapore during World War 2 (Original title: 'I was chopped, I fell and fainted' )
The following a report by By K.C. Vijayan in the Straits Times dated 15 march 2010.

IN EARLY 1942, Mr Yew Kian Chang and eight other men in their 20s were roused by a squad of Japanese military police from their dormitory in Bukit Timah.
They were marched, hands tied, to a nearby railway track and made to squat there.
The next day, they were beheaded one by one.

Mr Yew was the last. When the metre-long blade struck his neck, he fainted and was left for dead.

But the Singaporean, now 93, survived the horror, which he recounted last month to oral archivists seeking to preserve the remnants of stories about the Japanese Occupation during World War II.

The National Archives of Singapore's Oral History Centre has collected more than 870 hours of testimony from 261 survivors. But Mr Yew's is one of a kind. He is the only one to have lived to tell about being nearly beheaded.

The closest parallel is an account by Washington-based Barbara Scharnhorst, now 77, whose father had been with the Royal Army Medical Corps in Singapore and was beheaded by the Japanese in Bahau, Malaya.

Oral History Specialist Lye Soo Choon said the centre had embarked on collecting accounts for several years, but time was running out to get to the whole truth of the Occupation.

The Japanese Military Administration that ruled Singapore left almost no written records behind in Singapore regarding its work.

'The newspaper and magazines they published present only one perspective of the Occupation,' she said. 'It was to close the gap in our knowledge of our past that the Oral History Centre launched the project on the Japanese Occupation.'

The Straits Times visited the nonagenarian in a four-room flat in Bukit Batok where he lives with his wife, not far from the railway tracks in Bukit Gombak where his life had hung on the edge of a sword more than 60 years ago.

Mr Yew's unlucky compatriots were all single, like him. The married men, who lived in another block nearby, were not taken.

As he marched, the Fujian native was resigned to his fate.

'It was night, I was afraid and did not dare to look around,' he said in Hakka with his daughter translating. The next afternoon, they were taken one at a time, made to walk a few metres to lower ground and had their heads felled in a single blow by a sword wielded by a Japanese soldier.

There was no interrogation before the killing began.

'There was no commotion, no noise, no struggle. I felt resigned and did not resist and walked without feeling,' he recalled.

The men were not blindfolded. He was the last.

Clad in a singlet, shorts and China-made cloth-shoes, he walked to the spot where he was to die, and knelt down.

'When I was chopped, I fell and fainted,' he said.

It is believed he fell as soon as the blade hit him just below the neck and the downward slide of the blade missed the vital areas. The Japanese left him for dead.

Mr Yew believes he lay unconscious for more than a day, 'then I heard the voice of my grandfather as if in a dream, calling me to get up and run'.

With his hands still tied, he got up and fled to a friend who treated the wound on his neck with herbs. But maggots appeared in the gaping flesh after some days.

'My friend told me there was nothing more he could do and I had to seek medical help.'
Mr Yew found help at the Nanyang Clinic in the North Bridge Road area. After months of recovery, he fled to Endau, an agricultural settlement in Johor, Malaya, where he remained till the end of the war.

Till this day, a deep scar is visible on the back of his neck.

When the war ended, he returned to Singapore before going to China to find a bride.
He has been married for more than 65 years to Madam Lee Ah Hang, now 85, and they have eight grown-up children and several grandchildren.

Mr Yew was a carpenter by trade before and after the war. He went on to become a construction foreman and site supervisor before retiring in his late 60s.

Long ago, he had made peace with the unspeakable. 'I have no ill-feelings towards the Japanese soldiers who chopped me at that time. I thought they were just following instructions,' he said.
A Japanese group of peace activists, whose aim is to promote better understanding among the Japanese about the atrocities that took place in the region, visited Mr Yew last month.

Its spokesman Yoshiyuki Onogi told The Straits Times in an e-mail yesterday: 'To directly hear the story from someone like Mr Yew is rare, valuable and momentous to let ordinary Japanese people learn historical facts related to Japan during World War II.

'He may be the last possible person who can bear witness to the first-hand experience of the horrible massacre.'

Yummy yummy

The Malaysian premier Najib Razak praised ISIS fighters

Published on Monday, 15 September 2014 10:10

The Malaysian prime mister ordered police to suppress voices demanding his Islamist government to abandon supporting ISIS.

My party members must emulate the bravery of a Middle Eastern militant group that defeated an Iraqi force outnumbering it nearly 30 to one if we (Malay Islamist party) are to survive, Najib Razak said on Sunday during a formal party dinner in Kuala Lumpur.

The Malaysian prime minister was listing virtues that were needed to allow his party to continue in power, during a dinner to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Malaysian independence.

“For example, when someone dares to fight to their death, they can even defeat a much bigger team.

“As proof — whether we agree or not is another matter — the group ISIL with the strength of just 1,300 people, can defeat an Iraqi army of 30,000 soldiers, until four, five generals with three, four stars run for their lives, jump out the window at night. Why? Because they are afraid of those who are brave,” he told more than 1,000 Malaysian Islamic party members in attendance.

He also stressed the importance of being loyal to god, the party, and friends.


Najib said having wisdom and foresight in battles as well as the ability to organize is also crucial in strengthening the party.

The Sausi-backed Islamic State of Iraq in the Syria (ISIS) is a splinter group of al-Qaeda that wants to set up an Islamic caliphate encompassing both Iraq and Syria.

Isis releases image of 1 japanese hostage's beheaded body

[h=1]ISIS RELEASES IMAGE OF 1 JAPANESE HOSTAGE'S BEHEADED BODY[/h]
Post date:
25 Jan 2015 - 9:54am








The Japanese government expressed outrage at an image released Saturday that appeared to show the decapitated body of one of two Japanese hostages captured by Islamic State militants, and President Obama condemned what he called a “brutal murder.”

The kidnappers had threatened to kill the men if a Friday deadline passed for a $200 million ransom from Japan. Hours before Mr. Obama’s statement, the United States and Japanese governments said that they were working to authenticate the video containing the image.

SITE Intelligence, an organization that tracks jihadist propaganda, said that it believed it was authentic. But Al Furqan, a media arm of the Islamic State that has in the past posted videos of the group’s beheadings, had not released any video or message confirming the apparent killing of Haruna Yukawa, 42, by late Saturday.

A statement by SITE said the video was posted on Twitter accounts linked to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

An audio message accompanying the video said the Islamic State no longer demanded ransom for the second Japanese hostage, but instead offered to free him in exchange for the release of a woman facing the death penalty in Jordan for her role in a deadly 2005 bombing there.

Mr. Obama, who was traveling to India, issued a statement saying that the “United States strongly condemns the brutal murder of Japanese citizen Haruna Yukawa by the terrorist group ISIL.”

The other hostage, Kenji Goto, 47, a journalist, appeared to be alive in the video. Mr. Yukawa, a self-described military contractor who was captured in Syria in August, would be the first Japanese person to be killed by the Islamic State, which has established a self-proclaimed caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq financed partly by ransom payments for kidnapped foreigners.

The SITE statement said a still image of Mr. Goto in shackles shows him holding a photo of a beheaded man, which it said was Mr. Yukawa. The video that included the still image was removed from YouTube early Saturday.
The Islamic State has beheaded three Americans and two Britons in recent months and showcased the killings via Internet video postings.

The two Japanese men’s fate have become a fixation in Japan in recent days and a major challenge for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Political analysts have said the killing might turn Japan’s still pacifist public against Mr. Abe’s efforts to give the nation a more active role in global affairs. The size of the ransom demand for the two hostages matched the amount of aid that Mr. Abe recently pledged to help with refugee relief and other nonlethal efforts by Middle East nations to deal with the Islamic State.

As he let the ransom deadline pass, apparently without paying the money, Mr. Abe had vowed that Japan would not be intimidated. After the image of the corpse appeared, a grim-faced Mr. Abe rushed to the prime minister’s office to oversee this latest twist to the hostage crisis that began Tuesday, when a video posted online showed the hostages kneeling as a knife-wielding militant threatened to kill them.

Mr. Abe held an emergency meeting of his ministers overnight during which he said he directed them to use every possible avenue to free Mr. Goto.

“I feel strong outrage,” Mr. Abe told reporters after the meeting. “The Japanese government will not give in to terrorism and will continue to contribute to the peace and stability of the international community and the world.”
In the three-minute audio recording released Saturday, the voice of a man who claimed to be Mr. Goto said Mr. Yukawa had been “slaughtered” and blamed Mr. Abe’s failure to pay the ransom. (In the audio, the voice says he is Kenji Goto Jogo; it remained unclear late Saturday why that was different from the name given by the Japanese government and his own website, which gives only the first two names.)

The audio is addressed to Mr. Goto’s wife, telling her that the Islamic State was now demanding the release of the woman imprisoned in Jordan, Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi.

“They no longer want money,” the voice says in accented English. “You bring them their sister from the Jordanian regime, and I will be released immediately. Me for her. Don’t let these be my last words you ever hear. Don’t let Abe also kill me.”

The devastating attack in Jordan in November 2005 — a triple bombing of hotels in Jordan’s capital, Amman — killed dozens of people and is referred to there as Jordan’s 9/11. Ms. Rishawi’s husband blew himself up in a wedding hall, but her suicide belt failed to detonate.

Ms. Rishawi is Iraqi, and her family comes from a prominent tribe in Anbar Province, where in 2005 Al Qaeda in Iraq was entrenched and where the Islamic State holds sway today. Still, as a low-level operator and a failure at her mission, Ms. Rishawi seemed an odd choice for the Islamists’ focus, since Jordan is holding far more important extremist prisoners.

The release of the video came after Mr. Goto’s mother, Junko Ishido, issued a tearful plea at a Tokyo news conference Friday to the kidnappers, beseeching them to spare his life and asserting that he was not an enemy of Islam.







On Saturday, Japanese officials said they still had not reached the kidnappers or confirmed their location despite days of what they described as frantic efforts to do so. Japanese officials never specified whether they were willing to pay any ransom to the Islamic State. Japan paid to free kidnapped citizens in at least one previous case, in 1999, spending $3 million to secure the release of four mining experts held in Kyrgyzstan.

“This action is an unforgivable act of violence that leaves us at a loss for words, and we condemn it,” said the top Japanese government spokesman, Yoshihide Suga. “We strongly urge that the remaining hostage, Mr. Goto, not be harmed and be immediately released.”

As hope that the hostages would be freed alive has dwindled, Mr. Abe has faced criticism for embroiling Japan in a conflict of little direct import to his nation. On the whole, however, the debate has been relatively muted, as the nation anxiously awaited the fate of the hostages.

Amateur videos have appeared online calling for the release of the hostages. Some show people holding up signs saying, “I am Kenji,” echoing the “I am Charlie” rallying cry that spread in France after the recent terrorist attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Mr. Goto is a freelance journalist with experience covering wars and humanitarian crises whose photos have appeared on the front pages of many Japanese newspapers.

He vanished in late October, after reportedly going into Syria to seek the release of Mr. Yukawa.

[h=1]How an ISIS Beheading Might Change Japan[/h] The apparent murder of Haruna Yukawa may compel Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to press for re-militarization.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (R) speaks to the media at his official residence in Tokyo. (Kyodo/Reuters) A video released on Islamic State-affiliated Twitter accounts show the apparent beheading of Haruna Yukawa, a 42-year-old Japanese citizen who had been held captive by ISIS forces since last August. Yukawa's death hasn't been independently verified, but the Japanese government said it believes the video to be authentic. The beheading came days after ISIS demanded Japan pay a $200 million ransom to free Yukawa and Kenji Goto, a 47-year-old journalist and fellow captive. The Japanese government had pledged to free the hostages, but said it would not "bow to terrorism." According to Goto, who spoke in the video that showed Yukawa's purported execution, ISIS will free him if Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi, a female affiliate currently imprisoned in Jordan, is released.
In a hastily arranged news conference, Japan reacted with outrage.
"The Japanese government will not give in to terrorism and will continue to contribute to the peace and stability of the international community and the world," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters.
For Abe, whose Liberal Democratic Party did well in regional elections in December, the crisis with the Islamic State presents Japan with a dilemma. Since assuming the country's top office, Abe has supported removing Article 9 of Japan's constitution, a pacifist measure that has guided Japanese foreign policy since World War II. The prime minister has argued that the clause has become anachronistic in a world where China, a longtime adversary, has greatly improved its military capacity. Following the elections in December, Defense Minister Gen. Nakatami explained the rationale.
"Japan’s security environment has changed, and we must fortify our national security," he said.
However, there's no guarantee Yukawa's death will galvanize public support for Abe's proposal. An unstable man with a history of mental illness, Yukawa had traveled to Syria last summer with the intention of working as a private security contractor. Since his capture in August, the public has largely reacted with anger that he placed himself in such a dangerous situation. In 2004, the capture of four Japanese aid workers in Iraq elicited a similar lack of sympathy back home.
In any case, Abe's options are limited. In 2013, Japan signed a pledge by the G8, a group of the world's largest economies, to deny ransom payments to terrorist organizations.
