Steven Sotloff: moderate rebels 'sold his location to Isis militants for $50,000'

[Warren Stupidity]

The family of murdered journalist Steven Sotloff believe his location was sold to Islamic State (Isis) militants for up to $50,000 (£30,000) by a moderate rebel group in Syria.

Barak Barfi, a spokesman for and friend of Mr Sotloff’s family, said "sources on the ground" say a member of the group reached out to Isis and sold his location at the border crossing with Syria.

"Minutes before he was kidnapped, he called me from inside Syria to tell me that he was in," Mr Barfi told CNN.

"Somebody at the border crossing made a phone call to ISIS, and they set up a fake checkpoint with many people. Steve and his people that he went in with could not escape."
