| The mother of an American journalist who was the first hostage beheaded by ISIS last August lashed out at the Obama administration on Saturday, saying the alleged death of Kayla Mueller on Friday was a reminder that "nothing was done" to save those in captivity. Diane Foley, whose son James Foley was shown in an Aug. 19 ISIS video being killed by the group's spokesman "Jihad John," has spoken out before -- but Mueller's possible fate renewed her ire over what she feels was the government's inattention to the crisis. "Kayla, along with our son and others were held for nearly two years and there were many opportunities along the way: several times when the captors reached out, several times when returning hostages brought sensitive information. And yet nothing was done to save our young Americans. So that's the part that deeply concerns me," Foley told ABC News in an interview, parts of which aired on "World News Tonight." On Friday, ISIS claimed that Mueller, 26 -- whose name was mostly kept secret publicly because her captors had demanded a media blackout from her family in Prescott, Arizona -- was killed in a Jordanian airstrike on a building in Raqqa, Syria.
