FBI director James Comey told Congress on Wednesday that support for Islamic State increased after U.S. airstrikes began in Iraq and the militant group may take more hostages to try to force concessions from Washington. Comey said Islamic State is "committed to instilling fear and attracting recruits" and to drawing public attention, as shown through its use of social media and in videos it released of the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. http://bit.ly/1mewmVQ http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
