Four months after beheading American journalist James Foley, ISIS is ransoming his remains for $1 million, according to a new report by BuzzFeed.

Former cellmates of murdered American photojournalist James Foley say he and other ISIS beheading victims were tortured by their captors. According to a report published by the New York Times Sunday, the hostages were "routinely beaten and subjected to waterboarding." "It was when there was no blood, that we knew he had suffered something even worse," said one released captive.

Diane Foley, whose son James was beheaded by ISIS earlier this month, told ABC News that an Obama official threatened her and her family over his ransom payments. According to Diane, a high-ranking military officer in President Obama's National Security Council told her she'd be prosecuted for supporting terrorism if she paid the ransom to ISIS.

ISIS militants released gruesome video footage this afternoon of the beheading of American photojournalist James Wright Foley as a message to the U.S. to stop intervening in Iraq.

American journalist James Foley is missing in Syria after being kidnapped six weeks ago, his family announced today.

Engel and his team were freed on December 18th, but Foley's condition is unknown.
