The black clad executioner from the Foley, Sotloff, Haines and Henning videos is back. He and about 15 unmasked ISIS fighters are walking along, each holding onto a captured soldier in Bashad's army. They walk past a big box filled with knives. As the fighters walk past the box, they each grab a knife.

Then the soldiers kneel and the fighters line up behind them. I've uploaded a large photo here. The black clad executioner, in the voice we are all so familiar with, then addresses President Obama.

To Obama, the dog of Rome, today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we’ll be slaughtering your soldiers. With Allah’s permission we will break this final and last crusade and the Islamic State will soon like your puppet David Cameron said will begin to slaughter your people on your streets.”

Unlike the other videos, this time we see them actually beheading the soldiers, before putting their heads on their bodies.

The video moves on to announce all their new endorsements and "wilayats", and then the black clad executioner is back. There's a head on the ground in front of him. Apparently still speaking to Obama, he announces "This is Peter Edward Kassig, a citizen of your country."

He says Kassig was a U.S. soldier who fought in Iraq and doesn't have much to say (obviously, since he's dead.) He says his cellmates have already spoken for him. Then he says:

But we say to you, Obama... You claim to have withdrawn from Iraq four years ago. We said to you then that you are liars. We said you would not withdraw, and if you did, you would return.

And here you are. You are hiding behind your proxies....You will return in greater numbers than before. Your proxies will not benefit you.

He reminds Obama of a quote by Abu Musab al Zarqawi,

"The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify – by Allah's permission – until it burns the crusader armies in Dabiq"

He says,

And here we are, burying the first American crusader in Dabiq, eagerly awaiting the remainder of your armies to arrive.

The video ends with ISIS' signature closing, a fighter walking by himself holding a giant ISIS flag.

Thoughts: It's almost like Peter Kassig was a throwaway to them. They don't show him alive and don't show his killing or even his body. They only show his head at the ISIS killer's feet. The images of the 15 or so soldiers is much more indelible, due to their sheer number and the graphic beheadings and closeups of the faces of both the fighters and the soldiers.

The Daily Mail reported Saturday, quoting an unnamed Syrian source who heard via a nurse at a hospital in al Qaim, that the journalist killer's name (which she said was Jalman) was on a list of ISIS members brought to the hospital last weekend. The Mail reports that he had been severely wounded with al Baghdadi in the recent airstrikes near al Qaim, while at a retreat where ISIS leaders were meeting with tribal leaders (not the strike on Mosul, where the same day the U.S. said it struck a convoy of ISIS fighters). As I wrote here, there were reports of many civilians being killed at a market during the al Qaim strike, including women and children, and the U.S. denied denied targeting ISIS fighters in al Qaim, and said it struck a convoy near Mosul, and then gave conflicting accounts.)

The Mail says the ISIS killer was treated at a local hospital, and then left with al Baghdadi and they drove 200 miles to Raqqa in Syria where they were treated at the old headquarters for the Syrian 17th Division and 93rd Brigade. They say he is a higher up in ISIS, not just a British recruit. And that he is the leader of their new Euphrates (al furat) wilayat which was announced in mid-September. He is believed to serve on the Shura council for Al Furat. The Mail identifies him as Jalman Al-Britani, but no one has ever mentioned that name before and even Google has no record of him. He reportedly lives in Al Bukamal, not Raqqa.

He is aged between 28 and 31, and is fluent in English, Arabic and classical Arabic, the language of the Koran, according to our source. He first joined IS in Iraq when he left the UK, but then moved to Syria....The source said that Jihadi John usually travels in a black Audi jeep, and he has six other British terrorists with him who act as his bodyguards.

The Mail says it has seen a copy of an Iraqi intelligence report from the Federal Intelligence and Investigation unit of the Ministry of Interior, on the al Qaim meeting:

The document said that Al-Baghdadi was wearing black and first went to a kindergarten building before going to have lunch at an IS leader’s house. It is believed that the air strikes took place when he was meeting the other leaders in a bunker beneath that property.

The article also quotes an Anbar official who confirms:

There were lots of women and children that were killed on Saturday during the air strikes.

Here's the Iraqi list of who was killed (not wounded) at al Qaim.
