21. Algerian militants threaten to kill hostage unless French stop bombing ISIS

Three days after France joined the war against ISIS by carrying out airstrikes in Iraq, a French mountain guide in Algeria was kidnapped Sunday and his captors have threatened to behead him unless France halts its latest actions against the Islamic militants.

An Algerian splinter group of Al Qaeda called Jund al-Khilafah, or Soldiers of the Caliphate, released a video on social media showing Hervé Gourdel, a 55-year-old from Nice, flanked by masked men with assault rifles. The group has vowed to kill the Frenchman unless airstrikes against ISIS are stopped within 24 hours.

Gourdel, who went to Algeria last week to hike and explore caves, was captured by armed jihadists while driving through the mountainous central region of Tizi Ouzou. The kidnappers let two Algerian companions go, but kept Gourdel.

In a 42-minute audio statement released Sunday, Islamic State spokesman al-Adnani urged followers to kill Europeans and Americans, and “especially the spiteful and filthy French.”
