The Islamic State group on Thursday claimed to be holding a Norwegian man and a Chinese consultant hostage and demanded ransom for their release.
The extremist group posted pictures of the two men wearing yellow prison outfits in the latest issue of its online magazine Dabiq.
It identifies the Norwegian man as Ole Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad from Oslo, and the Chinese man as Fan Jinghui, a freelance consultant from Beijing. The magazine lists a telegram number for “whoever would like to pay the ransom for his release and transfer.”
It does not say when or where the two were captured. The IS controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, and has killed several captives in gruesome videos released online.
