"MOSCOW, August 26 (RIA Novosti) - American journalist James Foley may have been murdered by Islamic State militants a year ago, The Daily Mail reported, citing Syrian President Bashar Assad?s official spokesperson, Bouthaina Shaaban.

?James Foley was first arrested by the Free Syrian Army and he was sold to ISIS [an earlier name for the IS]. You can check with the UN?James Foley was killed a year ago, not now, they only released the pictures now, but he was killed a year ago. We have definite information, the UN has the information,? Shaaban said as cited by The Daily Mail."

released now to draw attention away from something, or put the spotlight on, to justify further involvement ?

Need excuse for attacks in Syria, eventually remove Assad :2 cents:
