The Iraqi terror group that executed one of the Bulgarian hostages demanded the release of all women prisoners in Iraq so that they would spare the life of the other Bulgarian, according to unconfirmed data.

A video footage aired by Arabic Al-Jazeera channel at 11 p.m. on Tuesday showed three men dressed in black with their faces covered with masks. In front of them a man looking like the Bulgarian Georgi Lazov was kneeling with a scarf hiding his face. The hostage wore the same bright orange garment that other hostages used to wear when they were slain.

The militants threatened to execute the other Bulgarian Ivaylo Kepov within 24 hours unless all prisoners are released in Iraq.
