A croatian citizen, taken hostage in Egypt on July 22, is executed, euronews reports.

An IS-related group operating in the Sinai Peninsula, published a photo of the beheaded body.

On August 5 a video appeared in the websites of Islamists in which a man who identified himself as a 30-year employee of the French company Tomislav Salopekom, father of two children, called on the Egyptian authorities to release from the prisons "Muslim women."

If the requirement of the kidnappers is not met within 48 hours, he added, "the soldiers of Vilayat Sina will execute me." This is how the group "Sinai Governorate Islamic state" calls itself in Arabic.
