ISIS has kidnapped 700 people from a refugee camp in eastern Syria, and will 'kill ten hostages every day' unless their demands are met, Russian president, Vladimir Putin said today.

The Islamist terrorists have already murdered a number of hostages, and have warned of daily executions to come, the Russian President said.

ISIS fighters attacked the refugee camp in Syria's Deir-al Zor province last week, and kidnapped some 130 families, including several U.S. and European nationals.

Speaking at the Valdai discussion forum in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, Putin said ISIS leaders had made demands, but did not specify what they were.

“They have issued ultimatums, specific demands and warned that if these ultimatums are not met they will execute 10 people every day.

“The day before yesterday they executed 10 people,' Putin said, adding: 'This is just horrible, it is a catastrophe.”
