TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed anger early on Sunday at a video purporting to show the execution of a Japanese citizen by Islamic State militants, and insisted Tokyo will not bow to terrorism.
He reiterated the government's view that the video, which appeared to show an executed Haruna Yukawa with the voice of captive Kenji Goto, was "an outrageous and unacceptable act of violence".
