CRI听力:British Hostage Appears in New IS Video

2015-02-10来源:CRI

A new video released by the Islamic State featuring captured British photojournalist John Cantlie has appeared online.

Cantlie has been held captive for more than 2-years, and has been featured in a range of videos.

In the latest video, he describes it as the last film in the series.

The 12-minute film covers a range of topics, ranging from the battle over the Syrian city of Aleppo, to drone strikes, Sharia law and education.

"Now one of the common accusations of the West is that under an Islamic state education will suffer. Religious studies and changes to the curriculum don't quite fit their image of progressive schooling. But here in al-Bab, these young men here are learning Koran recital and languages and, with any luck, they will form the mujahideen for the next generation in this region."

The film ends with an interview with a French militant who praises last month's Paris attacks and calls on French Muslims to start carrying out individual attacks.

Cantlie was kidnapped in Syria with American freelance journalist James Foley in November 2012.

Foley became one of the first to be beheaded on video by the Islamic State in August.
