Beirut: The Islamic State jihadist group announced it had executed a Chinese and a Norwegian hostage, in its online English-language magazine. 

Dabiq magazine printed photos of bodies it said were Chinese hostage Fan Jinghui and Norwegian Ole-Johan Grimsgaard-Oftsad.

A stamp-like caption overlaid on one of the photos read, "Executed after being "abandoned by the kafir (disbeliever) nations and organisations."
