Was the date when the world found out what happened to 40 year old James Foley via a video posted on Youtube.
Entitled a "A Message to America"
"Foley A free lance journalist had been kidnapped in Syria 2 years earlier, was dressed in an orange jump suit & kneeling on the ground, with his hands tied behind his back, he recited what was obviously a prepared script that listed Americas crimes. And than we all know what happened next , a masked man with a British accent put a knife to his throat & decapitated him.
His murder was the 1st of a series of videos of western hostages being executed & it presaged a new form of terror.
It was the Video that introduced the world to "Jihadi John" or Mohammed Emwazi who grew up in upmarket parts of London Maida Vale & St.Johns"
