Parents of slain journalist drawing on faith

Once again, John and Diane Foley appeared on national television to speak about their son, conflict journalist James Foley.

Only this time, on August 20, it wasn’t to plead for his release from captors but to thank the public for the outpouring of support that has flooded in since officials confirmed a videotaped killing of their son by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria was authentic.

"We know Jimmy's free," John Foley said, standing in front of the family home in Rochester, New Hampshire, according to The Huffington Post. "And we know he's in God's hands."
