Japan Reacts Islamic State Hostage Crisis

TOKYO, JAPAN - JANUARY 28: Junko Ishido, mother of journalist Kenji Goto speaks to media reporters at her home on January 28, 2015 in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan. Describing the Islamic State's actions as "extremely despicable," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered his administration to continue trying to save hostage Kenji Goto after the extremist group set a new deadline. In a video posted on the Internet late on January 27, a man believed to be Goto, a freelance journalist, says, "I only have 24 hours left to live." The video repeats that Goto, 47, will be freed in exchange for Sajida al Rishawi, a woman on death row in Jordan for her involvement in a bomb attack in the capital of Amman in 2005.
