I say the Japs head will be sliced if HUGE CASH not paid, and Japs are too poor to afford payment these days.

Childish idea to make cheapo offer to swap ISIS bomber for this Japs Pilot. Where is the stupidity? The Japs and west has no idea that bomber has no value to ISIS and bomber is meant to die any way and be martyr after death. How could they find bomber of any swap interest with ISIS? Stupid fools! The mistake is they foolishly implied their own rubbish values on ISIS, when ISIS absolutely does not value live like the foolish west. What they ISIS want is blood and humiliation to enemy and pain to enemy, even the CASH payment was a humiliation factor and physchological token only.

This offer will be rejected. Sharpen the knife and get ready the camera.

This Japanese guy must be very brave because he's chosen to be in a bad neighbourhood.
You won't find many Sporeans running around in the middle east because Sporeans know that if they get into trouble we can't expect any help from our PAP gov't.

Sunset deadline: Islamic State resets clock for proposed hostage-prisoner exchange

An audio message purportedly from a Japanese journalist being held by Islamic State militants said a Jordanian air force pilot also held by the group would be killed unless an Iraqi female prisoner in Jordan was released by sunset today.

The message appeared to postpone a previous deadline set on Tuesday in which the journalist, Kenji Goto, said he would be killed within 24 hours if the Iraqi was not freed.

The latest audio recording, which could not be verified, was posted on YouTube early today. The Japanese government is analyzing the recording, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a panel in parliament.

“I am Kenji Goto. This is a voice message I’ve been told to send to you. If Sajida al-Rishawi is not ready for exchange for my life at the Turkish border by Thursday sunset 29th of January Mosul [Iraq] time, the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh will be killed immediately,” the voice in the recording says.

That would be about 5.30pm in Mosul, or 11.30pm in Tokyo.

Jordan said on Wednesday it had received no assurance that al-Kasaesbeh was safe and that it would go ahead with a proposed prisoner swap only if he was freed.

The audio tape message implied that the Jordanian pilot would not be part of the exchange deal, indicating any swap would be between Goto - a veteran war reporter - and al-Rishawi. Any swap that left out the pilot would not go down well with the public in Jordan, where officials have insisted he is their priority.

There was no immediate comment from Jordanian government officials, but a security official said the authorities were trying to verify the authenticity of the recording and were coordinating with their Japanese counterparts.

On Tuesday, a video was released purporting to show the Japanese national saying he had 24 hours to live unless Jordan released al-Rishawi, an Iraqi woman on death row for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack that killed 60 people in the capital Amman.

Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani said earlier that Jordan was ready to release al-Rishawi if Kasaesbeh was spared, but made clear that she would be held until the pilot was freed.

Kasaesbeh was captured after his jet crashed in northeastern Syria in December during a bombing mission against Islamic State, which has captured large tracts of Syria and Iraq. He is from an important Jordanian tribe that forms the backbone of support for the Hashemite monarchy.

The Jordanian comments have raised concerns in Japan that Goto might no longer be part of any deal between Amman and Islamic State. But CNN quoted Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh as saying that “of course” the Japanese hostage’s release would be part of any exchange.

The hostage crisis is the biggest diplomatic test for Abe since he took office in 2012 pledging to bolster Japan’s defence and play a bigger role in global security.

Speaking in parliament today, Abe said the government was making every effort to ensure Goto’s early release and repeated that Japan was seeking cooperation from Jordan.

He reiterated that Japan would not give in to terrorism and that Tokyo would keep co-operating with the international community.

“If we are too afraid of terrorism and give in to it, this will give rise to fresh terrorism against Japanese and it will become a world in which the will to carry out despicable violence has its own way,” Abe told a lower house budget committee. “Such a thing is totally impermissible.”
