VIDEO analysts claim they can pinpoint where Hampshire hostage John Cantlie was last filmed by his Islamic State (IS) captors.

The latest propaganda video, part of a series called Lend Me Your Ears, appeared online just 11 days after John’s Hampshire father, Paul Cantlie, died.

As previously reported, the 80-year-old from Droxford, made an emotional plea from his hospital bed urging captors to release his son, a photojournalist who has been held hostage since 2012.

In latest IS video, John says to the camera that the viewer can see the northern Syrian town of Kobani in the background.

The footage is presented in two locations - on a street and from a rooftop - which the experts claim they have been able to identify.

The team of analysts, commissioned by one of the papers Cantlie had worked for, The Times, said that by studying the footage closely it appeared that Cantlie was in the northeastern part of Kobani.

Kobani has been the focus of US-led airstrikes over the past fortnight. No date is given for when the footage was taken, but Cantlie refers to a BBC news report from October 17.

Cantlie, 43, was kidnapped in 2012 while working as a freelance reporter.

Over the past few weeks, Cantlie has appeared in a series of videos released by IS.
