An ISIS hostage and next target was shown in a video of the decapitation of American journalist Steven Sotloff. The former British soldier, whose family asked the news media not to identify, worked for a string of aid organizations. He "was very familiar with insecure locations. He left the military and wanted to work for NGOs [non-governmental organizations]," said Tiffany Easthom, a South Sudan country director for a civilian peacekeeping organization the hostage had previously worked for.
