STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• British hostage John Cantlie appears in a new video
• The ISIS hostage claims Kobani is under the terror group's control
• Cantlie, a hostage for nearly two years, has delivered ISIS propaganda under duress

- ISIS has released a new video of British hostage John Cantlie, this time showing him in the Syrian border city of Kobani.

in a video that lasts for more than five minutes, Cantlie argues that -- unlike Western media accounts of recent days -- Kobani is mostly under control of the terror group, which calls itself the Islamic state.

He claims that ISIS fighters are mopping up, and that the all-out battle for the city is over. Kurdish forces in Syria have said the fight is far from finished, and that Iraqi Kurdish forces will soon be joining them.

Kurdish forces and ISIS militants have been clashing in the key border city for more than a month. On Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 800 people have been killed there since the fighting started.

In Monday's video, Cantlie, dressed in black, appears close enough to the border to see Turkish flags in the background.

The video also includes images of the heavily damaged city, filmed by what a caption says is an ISIS drone.

Based on references Cantlie makes in the video, report says it appears to have been filmed about a week ago.

In the video, Cantlie describes weapons from a U.S. airdrop that he says made their way into the hands of ISIS -- a claim the group also made last week. The airdrops were sent to help Kurdish forces fighting to defend the city.
