Islamic State releases video showing beheading of British aid worker
September 14, 2014
LONDON — Islamic State militants on Saturday released a video showing the execution of British aid worker David Haines in the same grisly manner as the killing of two American journalists in recent weeks, along with a threat to kill another Briton.
The video, titled “A Message to Allies of America” shows Haines clad in an orange jump-suit kneeling beside a man who speaks in the same London-accented English as the apparent executioner in two previous videos. The masked man addresses British Prime Minister David Cameron, telling him that the killing is retribution for “your evil alliance with America, which continues to strike the Muslims of Iraq”. The video ends with a threat to kill a man, Alan Henning, who the Islamic State claimed is another British hostage of the terrorist group.
