The ISIL terrorist group has released a video
apparently showing the beheading of US aid
worker Peter Kassig by a Takfiri militant.
The footage, which was aired on Sunday, shows
the masked terrorist claiming to have chopped off
Kassig’s head as a warning to the government of
the United States. However, there has been no
verification of the clip.
The 26-year-old American was kidnapped in
October 2013 on his way to Syria’s eastern city
of Deir al-Zour.
The nearly 16-minute video also shows what
appeared to be the mass execution of
several abducted Syrian soldiers.
The ISIL militants first showed Kassig in the
video of the beheading of British aid worker Alan
Henning in early October. The terror group has
posted numerous videos of its atrocities as a
terror tactic.
ISIL have executed several foreign nationals
including American journalists James Foley and
Steven Sotloff and British aid workers David
Haines, and Henning.
The ISIL terrorists currently control large areas of
Iraq. The group sent its militants into Iraq in
June, seizing large parts of land straddling the
border between Syria and Iraq.
