The U.S. continued airstrikes targeting ISIS militants early Wednesday morning following their beheading of an American journalist and threat to kill another.
Kurdish officers said an early morning strike was aimed at a school near the Mosul dam, considered a strategic region, where jihadists were apparently meeting, according to the Telegraph.
The National Security Council verified the video of freelance journalist James Wright Foley being beheaded on camera Wednesday morning, saying, "we have reached the judgment that this video is authentic."
In the video, titled "A Message to America," the jihadists vow to kill another American reporter, Time journalist Steven Joel Sotloff, if the US continues to target the region.
News of Foley's death shook the international community and caused outrage from many reporters.
"We believe those who kill journalists or hold them hostage should be brought to justice," said Gary Pruitt, the CEO of The Associated Press.
"We believe the assassination of a journalist in wartime should be considered an international crime of war," Pruitt added. "The murder of a journalist with impunity is a threat to a free press and democracy around the world."
President Obama is expected to make an announcement around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.
