Wow. I had no idea ISIS even held a Chinese citizen much less executed him. Norway will probably issue an apology to ISIS for causing them any inconvenience but I am not sure it was wise to mess with China. We shall see.
"CAIRO: Islamic State said it had killed a Norwegian and a Chinese captive, showing what appeared to be pictures of the dead men under a banner reading "Executed" in the latest edition of its English language magazine.
It did not give any details in the online Dabiq magazine, published on Wednesday, about how, when or where the men were killed.
China's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday (Nov 19) it will "bring to justice" those responsible for executing a Chinese national in the Middle East.
The ministry, in a brief statement, also confirmed the man's identity for the first time, naming him as Fan Jinghui.
"The Chinese government strongly condemns this savage act devoid of humanity and will certainly bring the criminals to justice," the statement said.
"The Chinese government will resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism, and resolutely strike at any violent terrorist criminal activities that defy the bottom lines of human culture."
"China will continue to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation with the international community to maintain peace and tranquillity in the world," it added.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Beijing was "greatly shocked" by the reports.
After he was kidnapped, the Chinese government activated an emergency mechanism to try and "rescue" him, but he was still killed in a "cold-blooded way", according to the ministry.
In a statement on the ministry's website, Hong said the government had been trying to secure the release of the hostage. China's Foreign Ministry said in September that one of its citizens appeared to be in Islamic State captivity.
The militant group had previously identified the Chinese man as Fan Jinghui and said he was a 50-year-old freelance consultant from Beijing, but the Chinese government has not confirmed his identity."
