ISIS captive Tomislav Salopek is believed to have been beheaded, the SITE Intelligence Group said today, citing an apparent image of the hostage posted online.
Salopek, a Croatian national, was reported kidnapped on July 22 in the area of Cairo, Egypt. CNN could not independently confirm the authenticity of the image, and Croatian and Egyptian officials have not confirmed Salopek's death.
In a video distributed online August 5, a group claiming to be ISIS' branch in the Sinai Peninsula threatened to kill Salopek if Egypt didn't release female Muslim prisoners in 48 hours.
