London: IS hostage Cantlie still alive

The British journalist John Cantlie, who was kidnapped seven years ago in Syria, is believed to be still alive, according to his government.

Cantlie was kidnapped in 2012, along with the American James Foley. That journalist was later beheaded for the camera. Cantlie made his appearance in several propaganda videos of the terrorist organization Islamic State. His last appearance in such a video dates from 2016. Since then, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph, nothing has been heard about his condition.
