Secretary of State John Kerry released a statement 90 minutes after Obama's press conference, saying that Foley 'was brave and bold, and no masked coward can ever steal the legacy of this courageous American.'
He noted that Foley had been held in captivity once before – in Libya – before ultimately winning his release.
'The sheer unfairness and unlikely odds that this young journalist would again find himself in captivity in another conflict was almost unimaginable nike air max 90 ireland ,' he said.
'It is impossible to express how much we all wanted this latest horror to end with his family reunited, as it had been the first time.'
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday that Foley's killing was 'murder without any justification,' and seemed resigned to the fact that his executioner is from the UK.
'We have not identified the individual responsible,' he said from No. 10 Downing Street, 'but from what we have seen it looks increasingly likely that it is a British citizen.'
The Prime Minister condemned 'the barbaric and brutal act that has taken place.'
And 'let's be clear what this act is nike air max 2018 womens ,' he said. 'It is an act of murder.'

UNITED NATIONS, May 26 (Xinhua) -- A project promoted by China-UN Peace and Development Trust Fund was launched on Friday at the UN headquarters in a bid to help developing countries reduce hunger and explore renewable energy.
The project named Juncao Technology provides with an agricultural technology to cultivate edible and medicinal fungi by using wild grasses and herbal plants instead of trees or woods.
At a workshop held here, China's Ambassador to the UN Liu Jieyi said Juncao Technology is a priority project that the China-UN Fund is promoting, because it fits the needs of countries in Asia and Africa to eradicate poverty and it is a solution contributed by China to help them overcome development challenges.
The Juncao technology is developed based on research conducted by Professor Lin Zhanxi from China's Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University who invented the Juncao technology in the 1980s.
According to his research, the Juncao grass can develop its root system in deserts and grow fast and therefore it has been used to control soil erosion nike air max 2018 ireland , desertification or manage saline-alkali soil.
It is also used to produce clean energy. Lin said the power generated from the burning of Juncao grown on one hectare of land is equivalent to that from more than 50 tons of coal but with much less emissions.
Statistics show that in China's northwestern region of Ningxia which is dry and desert-like, the project has helped lift 17,500 households out of poverty with farmers' annual income increasing from 80 U.S. dollars in 1998 to 1,024 dollars in 2007.
Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, Chef de Cabinet to the UN Secretary General nike air max 2018 , said Juncao Technology has been brought to countries like Fiji and South Africa, helping them improve nutrition as well as food security, increase income for farmers and create social, environmental benefits.
"This means that this technology could play a very important part in helping us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals," she said.
Jerry Matthews Matjia cheap nike air max 2017 , ambassador of South Africa to the UN, said that Juncao is an innovative technology which helps his country fight desertification, develop bio-fuels and improve health conditions.
He said the Juncao project is a good example of South-South cooperation and can play a bigger role in promoting sustainable agriculture in developing countries.
Luke Daunivalu, deputy ambassador of Fiji to the United Nations, said Juncao technology has created economic and social benefits in Fiji in a very short time and he hopes this project can benefit more countries and people around the world.

WELLINGTON, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Exposure to earthquakes appears to make many children in quake-prone Christchurch more resistant to other pressures in life, according to a New Zealand study released Tuesday.
Clinical psychologist Maureen Mooney from the Joint Center for Disaster Research of Massey University analyzed children's experiences of Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 to determine how they cope with natural disasters.
In her newly completed Ph.D. research, Mooney interviewed 42 children from five schools in Christchurch aged five nike air max 2017 ireland , nine and 15 years, along with children from several Wellington schools as a comparison group.
"All children were interviewed 20 months after the first earthquake during an ongoing aftershock sequence, and six selected children from Christchurch were interviewed again three years after the initial earthquake," said Mooney, who has confronted crisis situations in Haiti www.cheapairmaxirelands.com , Cambodia and Sudan.
Mooney, who is also a Red Cross consultant, found that the C.
