British aid worker Alan Henning (left and inset) has been
beheaded by Islamic State militants in Syria, a video posted online by the
fanatics has revealed. The Foreign Office has confirmed it is looking into
reports of Mr Henning's death, which comes just days after his distraught wife
Barbara appealed for his safe return. In the video, which emerged online
tonight, Henning can be seen on his knees (left) as the British Islamist known
as Jihadi John waves a knife at the camera. Before his death, Mr Henning tells
the camera: 'I am Alan 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.' Following the same format as previous videos released by
the terrorist group, the footage ends with the Jihadi threatening that the next
victim will be Iraq war veteran and U.S. citizen Peter Edward Kassig (right).
