Islamic state militants threatening to kill japanese hostages

Japan's Prime Minister has responded angrily to a demand for 200 million dollars from Islamic State militants. A video released by the group threatens to kill two Japanese hostages unless the money's received within 72 hours. It appears to feature the same English-sounding militant seen killing other captives. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says his country won't bow to extremism.
