ISIL beheads British Henning: Video

ISIL terrorists have released a video purportedly showing the beheading of British hostage Alan Henning.

“I am Allen Henning. Because of our parliament’s decision to attack the Islamic State, I, as a member of the British public, will now pay the price for that decision,” says Henning before being killed during the video released on Friday.

Henning, an English taxi driver, was a member of a group of volunteers that traveled to Syria in December 2013 to distribute food and water to people affected by the country’s war.

According to his coworkers, he was abducted the day after Christmas by masked gunmen.

In a reference to British Prime Minister David Cameron, the black-clad executioner says, “The blood of David Haines was on your hands Cameron, Allen Henning will also be slaughtered, but his blood is on the hands of the British parliament.”

A person believed to be US aid worker Peter Kassig is shown at the end of the video and his life is threatened.

This is the fourth such video released by the Takfiri terrorists, the other three showing the beheadings of two US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines.

Following the release of the video, Cameron condemned the killing.

“The brutal murder of Alan Henning by ISIS shows just how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are,” he said, using another abbreviation for the ISIL Takfiris.

“We will do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice,” Cameron added.

The US White House also issued a statement, saying, “The United States strongly condemns the brutal murder of United Kingdom citizen Alan Henning by the terrorist group ISIL.”

The Takfiri terrorists currently control parts of eastern Syria and Iraq’s northern and western regions. They have threatened all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Izadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.
