'Jihadi John' demands ransom to spare two Japanese men
The British-accented killer, known as 'Jihadi John' from videos issued by the so-called Islamic State, is believed to be featured in a new film demanding a huge ransom to spare the lives of two Japanese men.
Japan's Prime Minister said the demand for $200 million is "unacceptable."
