Foleys say reported death of Jihadi John “small solace”

ROCHESTER, N.H. — The parents of slain American journalist James Foley said Friday the apparent death of his Islamce State executioner, nicknamed Jihadi John, doesn’t offset their frustration at inadequate U.S. effort to find Foley before he was killed.

“It is a very small solace to learn that Jihad John may have been killed by the U.S. government, the Foleys said in a statement. “His death does not bring Jim back. If only so much effort had been given to finding and rescuing Jim and the other hostages who were subsequently murdered by ISIS, they might be alive today”

The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation “is committed to defending the rights of every American citizen by advocating for the safe release of Americans kidnapped abroad, advancing safety measures for freelance journalists in conflict zones, and providing underprivileged youth with access to education,” they said,
