British taxi driver beheaded by IS
A video purportedly showing the United Kingdom
hostage, Alan Henning, being beheaded has been
released by Islamic State militants.
The Salford taxi driver was delivering aid to Syria
in December when he was kidnapped and then
held hostage by IS, the BBC reports.
IS threatened to kill him in footage last month
showing the death of Briton David Haines, and in
this video they threatened United States aid
worker Peter Kassig.
Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain would
do all it could “to hunt down these murderers and
bring them to justice.”
The prime minister said the killing of father-of-two
– Mr. Henning, 47, showed “how barbaric and
repulsive” IS was.
“My thoughts and prayers tonight are with Alan’s
wife Barbara, their children and all those who
loved him,” he said.
“Alan had gone to Syria to help get aid to people
of all faiths in their hour of need.”
Mr. Henning’s wife Barbara had this week
appealed for her husband’s release, saying: “He is
innocent.”
Volunteer Mr. Henning was on his fourth aid
mission to Syria when he was captured within
minutes of arriving in the country last December.
