ISIS militants on Friday released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning, in another gruesome execution that U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron condemned as “barbaric and repulsive” in vowing to bring those responsible to justice.
Henning’s execution is the fourth time the Islamist militants beheaded a Western hostage and released a video intended to send a message to American and British governments who have undertaken a campaign to combat the group. An American hostage is also threatened with execution.
In the new video, titled "Another Message to America and Its Allies," a black-clad, masked militant with what appears to be a British accent forces the captive to read a brief statement before the execution, as in the other videos. The hostage is forced to say he “will pay the price” for Britain’s decision to join a U.S.-led bombing campaign against ISIS in Iraq.
