Man who appears on screen alongside foley may not be his actual killer. One theory is that this man simply fronted the video for propaganda purposes. The alleged suspect is known as jihadi john and comes from london. The daily mail goes further saying his father is allegedly linked to al qaeda and currently held in a u. S. Prison. Now, its thought that uk intelligence officials may well be aware of the identity of this man who appears in the video, but they havent confirmed this. Of course authorities may be reluctant to release information which could jeopardize other western hostages still detained in syria. One of those is steven sotloff, an american journalist. Isis has threatened to kill him if the u. S. Continues air strikes in iraq. But some good news, another u. S. Reporter, peter curtis, was released yesterday. Hed been held by a different Extremist Group in syria for almost two years. Now, there is a great deal of concern here in the uk about the involvement of british jihadi
Alone. Theyre not going to fight alone. We have had enough. Michael brown was killed worse than a dog. Its just not right. Its just not fire. Michael just butm rushes him. Shoves him back into his car. Moves for the gun. Michael grabs the gun. At one point officer wilson never even had an attempt to actually make any overt Law Enforcement act. None. He never even had an opportunity to get out of his car before he was attacked. The whole aggression here was Michael Brown. Let me ask one question he set it in motion. There is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. I do not support the looting. I dont. But at the same time i understand the anger and frustration. I dont know how long people are going to protest because this also is just is not about mike brown. This is about Police Brutality. This is about racism. This is about racial profiling. And this is about a community thats trying to find its voice. On
Religious minorities, we turn to greg palkot. First to the critical internal political news here in iraq. The nowacting Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki looks like the fix is in on this version. He went on state tv today and he claimed he would not step down unless the top Court Approved the decision to oust him. But even his iranian patron the iatola today endorsed a new more moderate successor to Nouri Al Maliki. Anymore inclusive government here could help with International Help to the refugees including christians being targeted by militants. Here are a few we caught up with today. Take a look. Feeding frenzy in iraq. Starving, thirsty Christian Refugees looking for food, looking for water at a soup kitchen at a church in irbil. Driven from their homes by isis militants, trying to survive. We saw whole families who had to flee with just the clothes on their back often robbed of everything they had by the isis fighters. We heard multiple times that they were threatened with their liv
Christians, behead two innocent americans and threaten our homeland. President obama addressed the nation wednesday night and he detailed his strategy, which he didnt have two weeks ago, on how he plans to degrade and destroy these terrorists. First, we will conduct a Systematic Campaign of air strikes against these terrorists. Second, we will increase our support to forces fighting these terrorists on the ground. In june i deemployeed several hundred American Service members to iraq to assess how we can best support Iraqi Security forces. Now that those teams have completed their work and iraq has formed a government, we will send an additional 475 Service Members to iraq. Across the border in syria we have ramped up our military assistance to the syrian opposition. Third, we will continue to draw on our substantial counterterrorism capabilities to prevent isil attacks. Fourth, we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to innocent civilians whove been displaced by this terro
Shot during the course of this. We had at least two gunmen who were on the loose that the police were looking for. Through it all theres an updated list of the number of people who were arrested. 78 total were arrested. Most of them for failure to disperse. Interesting point in that, of those arrested, only four of them were from ferguson and that speaks volumes to the claim of Community Organizers that the trouble makers are people from outside of the community who have injected themselves here into ferguson. Gretchen . So youre there in the daylight right now. I think everyone watching understands that all of this stuff starts percolating once it gets dark. So explain the scenario for me today during the day. Reporter i can give you a look around. It looks like a fairly normal day. If you didnt know whats going on, you probably wouldnt notice. I can show you coming up the street right now are coming up the side of the street is a very small crew of protesters. The police mandate now
