THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: John Cantlie, a British journalist who is being held captive by Isil inside Syria, has appeared in a sixth propaganda video

The British freelance journalist held hostage by Isil jihadists has appeared in a news report purporting to be from the embattled Kurdish city of Kobane.

John Cantlie has already appeared in five propaganda videos for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

But in those he sits at a desk, wearing the same orange jump suit that other prisoners have worn as they are filmed being beheaded.

In this latest production, he is wearing black and is filmed as if on a normal television report, describing events happening around him.

He points to the Syrian-Turkish border behind him, and claims that contrary to recent reports claiming the Kurdish fighters defending the city are pushing back Isil, it is in fact in control of the south and east, and “mopping up” the rest of the resistance street-by-street. » | Richard Spencer | Monday, October 27, 2014
