Peter Kassig Beheading - New ISIS video released

Peter Kassig Beheading – New ISIS video released

ISIS threatened back in early October that they would behead American hostage Peter Kassig next, following the beheading of Alan Henning.

Kassig was a former Army Ranger who was serving as an aid worker when he was captured last year.

The Peter Kassig video is the 5th official video in a string of brutal murders that have shocked the US and Britain as well as the rest of the world. Earlier Islamic State victims included Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and Britons Alan Henning and David Haines.

The video has not yet been verified as authentic, but all previous murders claimed by ISIS in the past have turned out to be real. It shows several Syrians getting beheaded but does not show Kassig’s beheading. Like the other decapitation videos, the militants threaten future violence if the United States doesn’t cease it’s airstrikes and involvement in Iraq and Syria.
