London: The Islamic State militants have released a second video of British journalist John Cantlie in less than a week which shows him warning US-led coalition against carrying out military operations against his captors.
In the latest five-minute video, Mr Cantlie warns that the US and its allies are embarking on “Gulf War III”, adding “Not since Vietnam have we witnessed such a potential mess in the making”.
“Current estimates of 15,000 troops needed to fight the Islamic State are laughably low. The State has more mujahideen than this. And this is not some undisciplined outfit with a few Kalashnikovs,” Mr Cantlie said in the video.
Dressed in orange against a backdrop showing cuttings from the New York Times, the 43-year-old photojournalist introduces himself as “the British citizen abandoned by my government and long-term prisoner of the Islamic State”.
