SITE did not say which group was responsible for the videos. Jumpei is thought to have been abducted by the Al-Nusra Front, a former Al-Qaeda affiliate, in 2015. The Italian hostage was kidnapped in Turkey in October 2016

A jihadist group has released videos of a Japanese journalist and an Italian man held captive in Syria in which they appeal for their release, US-based monitors said yesterday.
The two men — Japanese journalist Jumpei Yasuda and Italian national Alessandro Sandrini — appear in two separate videos that are nonetheless similar in their staging and were released by the SITE group, which tracks white supremacist and jihadist organisations.
