Self-proclaimed Islamic State militants have confirmed that they killed Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.
The militants said in an Internet radio broadcast on Sunday that they killed the second Japanese hostage after the deadline expired.
They also stated they released a video of Goto's death through their public relations division, al-Furqan.
They added they killed Goto because Japan took part in the "crusade" against Islam.
Islamic State militants are hostile to the US-led coalition engaged in the military campaign against the group.
They call the coalition, which includes European and Middle East countries, a "crusade."
They also blame Japan in connection with its humanitarian aid to the Middle East. They claim the country provided 100 million dollars to destroy Muslim homes.
