A video has been released online purporting to show the beheading of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto by Islamic State militants.

The video comes less than a week after news of the beheading of another Japanese man Haruna Yukawa.

Mr Goto, 47, is a well-known freelance journalist and film-maker who went to Syria in October, reportedly to try to secure Mr Yukawa's release.

Japan, as well as the US, UK and France, has condemned the killing.

The video, which bears the same symbols as previous IS videos, shows a militant with a British accent beheading Mr Goto.

Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said Japan was "outraged" by the video, adding that the cabinet was meeting to decide a response to it.

Tall and handsome Jordanian pilot is next

Islamic State militants have started a discussion on Twitter asking its followers to suggest an appropriate way to kill the 'Jordanian pilot pig' captured by the group in December.

26-year-old Muath al-Kassasbeh was captured after his fighter jet crash landed near the Syrian city of Raqqa.

I'm afraid I would not be able to endure such an end courageously. I'd probably go out kicking and screaming.
