John Cantlie: Ten years since IS kidnap of British journalist in Syria

Today marks 10 years since British photojournalist John Cantlie was kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Syria.

He is thought to be the only foreign hostage held by them who was neither released nor murdered on camera.

Mr Cantlie outlived other UK hostages and appeared in the group’s propaganda videos, though his fate is unknown.

He is presumed dead but his body has never been found, and his family recently held a funeral for him.
