In 2014, the world was shocked by the murder of American journalist James Foley by members of ISIS.

He had been kidnapped by the group in November 2022 and his murder was broadcast on social media by the so-called Islamic State group.

Two of his captors were arrested, put on trial, and given multiple life sentences in 2022.

James鈥檚 mother Diane Foley met one of them.

A book called 鈥楢merican Mother鈥�, written by Diane in conjunction with author Colum McCann, tells the story of James 鈥� also known as Jim, and his legacy.

James was taken in Syria, and it took nine months before his family even knew he was alive.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Nihal Arthanayake, Diane Foley said: 鈥淚t was a horrific time, I prayed and did all I could do to advocate and beg my government to intercede.鈥�
