Japanese Journalist Killed by Extremist Islamic Group in Syria

My condolences to the family and loved ones of the Japanese who was killed by the Jihadist group ISIL/ISIS. It is terrible, shocking and really sad what happened. And it didn't have to happen. It baffled me, still is baffling me as to why Goto left his wife and children behind to go in a dangerous area. I simply can't understand it. I do admire the work he was doing to highlight the plight of many poor people, refugees and people living with AIDS etc. Really admirable. But to leave your family behind and go to a place crawling with extremists is beyond my understanding. This is definitely a wake up call for Japan and the Japanese people. This didn't have to happen. Again my deep and sincere condolences.
