A short video was released last Friday depicting the beheading of British hostage Alan Henning by ISIS terrorists. The short video was released online and banned in many platforms over its graphic content.
The video begins just like the other three videos posted by the insurgents. Alan Henning is kneeling, dressed in the now infamous orange uniform and reading from a crafted script. In his message, he referenced the British parliament decision to join the U.S led bombing campaign against the ISIS group. The group now consists of over 40 countries that are leading attacks against the ISIS terrorists.
As the video comes to an end, Alan Henning is inhumanely beheaded and another hostage is brought to the front; American aid worker and former military man Pater Kassig. The video ends with the terror group threatening to behead the American if the U.S does not stop airstrikes against it.
Alan Henning was a British aid worker who had travelled to Syria to assist people in need during their internal civil strife. The Briton was abducted in 2013 by masked gunmen just a few days before Christmas.
Days before his beheading, a short audio statement was released where Alan Henning was pleading for his life. His wife Barbara Henning appealed to the ISIS terror group to spare her husband's life. Barbara's video was followed by appeals from muslim leaders around the globe to spare the Alan Henning's life. Shaykh Haitham Al Haddad, a judge at the Sharian Council in London. He went on to state that whatever ISIS had against Britain, beheading Alan Henning was not the answer.
UK Prime Minister revealed a statement stating "The brutal murder of Alan Henning by ISIL shows just how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are."
The White House released a statement strongly condemning the beheading of Alan Henning. It vowed to work closely with the U.K to destroy the ISIS terrorists.
