Two Japanese hostages,
one demand from ISIS: Hand over $200 million, or else.
The
else being that the pair will meet the same gruesome fate as other captives
held by the terrorist group, others who were shown in ISIS videos kneeling in
orange jumpsuits in front of masked, black-clad men -- just like the Japanese
hostages identified as Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruna Yukawa -- shortly before
being beheaded.
In
the latest video, a masked man gives the Japanese government a choice to pay
$200 million -- the same amount of money Prime Minister Shinzo Abe recently pledged for those
"contending" with ISIS -- to free the Japanese men. That deal holds
for 72 hours, which would seem to mean sometime Friday, since the video
appeared on social media Tuesday.
