Washington:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is seeking the public's help in identifying a man believed to be from North America who appears in a promotional video released by the Islamic State group.
The FBI released a segment of the promotional video in hopes of generating tips about the man's identity.
The man appears in the video in desert camouflage, with his face mostly obscured, and speaks English with what the FBI describes as a North American accent.
FBI Director Jim Comey has said that about a dozen Americans are believed to be fighting alongside the Islamic State. He has said that the FBI knows the individuals who are there.
The release of the video is part of an effort to enlist the public's help in identifying Westerners seeking to join the fighting.
