Ten years since IS kidnap of British journalist in Syria
Today marks 10 years since British photojournalist John Cantlie was kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Syria.
He is presumed dead but his body has never been found, and his family recently held a funeral for him. In 2012, after working in some of the wilder regions of the world, including Afghanistan and the Himalayas, he went to Syria to document the developing civil war there. The Europeans were released one by one, reportedly for huge ransoms, while all the other Britons and Americans were murdered on camera.
Controversially, Cantlie survived for years by becoming a captive spokesman, writing and voicing the propaganda reports that IS wanted to hear. He appeared in 14 of their videos, initially dressed in an orange jumpsuit.
