A Philippines-based jihadist
terror group reportedly threatened to kill two German hostages
unless their country stops supporting United States air strikes
against Islamic State (ISIS) fundamentalists in Syria and Iraq,
sources said Wednesday.
The jihadist organization calling itself Abu Sayyaf Group
also asked Germany to ransom the two hostages, who were abducted
in April.
Germany replied that its anti-ISIS strategy won't change.
Also on Wednesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry called
on the international community to stand together against ISIS.
"This war affects us all," Kerry said on the third day of
US air strikes against the fundamentalist militia in Syria and
Iraq.
"It's a war against depravation and evil".
