In an afternoon address President Barack Obama said the world is appalled by the murder of American journalist James Foley at the hands of ISIS but vowed to stay firm in efforts against the terrorist group.

“We will be vigilant and we will be relentless,” Obama said.

“Jim taken from us in an act of violence that shook the conscience of the entire world,” he said. “Today, the American people will all say a prayer for those who loved Jim. All of us feel the ache of his absence. All of us mourn his loss.”

ISIS released a brutal video on YouTube of the apparent murder late Tuesday, saying Foley’s death is in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes in Iraq. They’re sending a warning to President Obama and America.

The chilling video appears to show the 40-year-old American photojournalist on his knees with his executioner next to him, holding a knife in his left hand.

Foley was a seasoned foreign correspondent on assignment for the GlobalPost when he disappeared in northern Syria in November 2012.

Lawmakers in Washington say ISIS is capable of carrying out an attack on U.S. soil and warn that the president must deal with the terrorists now.
