Daesh militants threatened to kill two Japanese hostages Tuesday unless the group receives a $200 million ransom within the next three days, AP reports.
Made by Daesh’s al-Furqan media wing, the video was posted on militant websites linked with the jihadist group, featuring the same British man believed to be involved in other beheadings.
The two hostages identified as Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruna Yukawa were shown in standard orange jumpsuits, alongside the militant with a British accent, according to AP.
“You have proudly donated $100 million to kill our women and children, to destroy the homes of Muslims,” the militant said.
Daesh has captured a third of Iraq and Syria along with executing hundreds of captives under its self-declared caliphate.
