A White House official says the U.S. is working to confirm reports of a second American being killed while fighting alongside militants in Syria.
In a statement late Wednesday, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the White House is aware of indications that an American citizen associated with the Islamic State group was killed, but was not yet in a position to say whether they are true.
Hayden confirmed Tuesday the death of one American, Douglas McCain, and said the government is continuing efforts to "disrupt and dissuade individuals from traveling abroad for violent jihad."
Meanwhile, the mother of an American journalist being held by Islamic State militants has pleaded with the group's leader to let her son Steven go free.
In a video released Wednesday, Shirley Sotloff says Steven is an "honorable man" who should not be punished for U.S. government actions.
"I've learned that Islam teaches that no individual should be held responsible for the sins of others. Steven has no control over the actions of the U.S. government. He is an innocent journalist. I've also learned that you, the Caliph, can grant amnesty. I ask you to please release my child."
The Islamic State group behead American journalist James Foley earlier this month, and is threatening to kill Sotloff if the United States does not stop carrying out airstrikes on militants in Iraq.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama administration officials have been in contact with the Sotloff family, but did not give specifics on what advice the family was given on the "wisdom" of releasing the video.
"As you know, this administration is deeply engaged and doing everything we can to seek the return of every American who is currently being held in that region."
Also Wednesday, Peter Theo Curtis, another American journalist who had been held hostage by Syrian militants for two years, said Wednesday he was "overwhelmed with emotion" after learning how many people across the world had worked for his release. He also expressed gratitude for the many people who have welcome him back to the United States since he returned this week.
