American President Barack Obama has denounced journalist Steven Sotloff’s murder as “a horrific act of violence” and insisted that the US would not be “intimidated” by militants’ threats.

Speaking before he arrives in Wales later today, Mr Obama said: “Whatever these murderers think they will achieve by killing innocent Americans like Steven, they have already failed.

“They have failed because, like people round the world, Americans are repulsed by their barbarism. We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists.

“Those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, that our reach is long and that justice will be served.”
