The Islamic State armed group which holds swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria issued a video online on Tuesday purporting to show two Japanese hostages and demanding "200 million" from the Japanese government to save their lives, Reuters reports.
A knife-wielding black-clad figure, standing in a desert area along with two men and wearing orange clothing, criticised what he called the Japanese government's support for a US-led coalition waging a military campaign against Islamic State.
