Letter to mother published
ISIS publishes a letter apparently written by Sotloff to his mother in Dabiq magazine. Sotloff:
To Mom, I do not have much time and will probably not get this opportunity again, so I would like to get straight to the point. Your recent public video of pleading to the Caliphate not to kill me has been received loud and clear by them. However, this in itself is not enough to save me.
