Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The al-Qaeda affiliate in Yemen has threatened to kill an American hostage.
The captive has been identified at 33-year-old Luke Somers, a British-born man who became an American citizen. Somers was working for the Yemen Times as a photojournalist.
Journalists throughout Yemen have been calling on the government to work for the journalist’s release, saying the kidnapping was an attempt to intimidate the country’s media.
The terrorists reportedly have made demands that have to be met in three days or they will kill Somers.
The terrorist group has already killed a hostage this week, former Yemeni Intelligence official Rashid al-Hebshi, whose body was found on Thursday.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby admitted there was a failed rescue attempt last month.
