Islamic State: Second Frenchman in killing video named

(BBC) France has named a second Frenchman in a video showing the killing of Syrian prisoners by Islamic State (IS) militants as Mickael Dos Santos, 22.

The Muslim convert comes from an eastern Paris suburb. The other French militant was named as Maxime Hauchard, a convert from Normandy.

In the same video, the severed head of US hostage Abdul-Rahman Kassig was displayed for the camera.

About 1,000 French jihadists are thought to have gone to Syria and Iraq.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said after a security meeting in Beauvais, north of Paris, that "close to 50" French citizens had died in Syria.

"Sadly, we are not surprised to learn that French citizens or residents of France are found at the heart of these cells and taking part in this barbarity," he added.

Meanwhile, new IS video has appeared which shows a small group of gunmen burning what appear to be French passports before three of them make appeals to French Muslims to abandon France and join IS, or stay there and attack "enemies of Allah".

Killing is too easy..... hack a hand off first for stealing someones life.... then stoning them to death (with small enough rocks so it lasts a little while).

Don't let any of them back. If they believe in IS so much, they can stay there and dedicate their lives to extremist Islam and farm dirt till they're gagging for the comforts of home. Anyone fighting for IS has made their choice, shown their allegiance. Let them live with it. They'll get sick of it soon enough and then.....screw 'em.
