British aid worker Alan Henning has been murdered by ISIS fighter Jihadi John in a video online posted by the terror group.
Before his death, Mr Henning gave a short
speech in which he blames his execution on Parliament's decision to launch strikes against Islamic State in Iraq.
In the video, Henning says, “Hi, I’m 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.”
Henning, who was a taxi driver in the UK, decided to volunteer in Syria, driving a convoy of medical equipment with his Muslim colleagues to help refugees.
Days ago, Henning’s wife Barbara pleaded for his release in an emotional statement:
“Alan was taken prisoner last December by the Islamic State. Allen is a peaceful, selfless man. I cannot see how it assists any state’s cause to see a man like Alan dying. I have been trying to communicate with the Islamic State and the people holding Alan, I pray that the people holding Alan respond to my messages before it’s too late. When they hear this message, I pray that the people of the Islamic State find it in their hearts to release my husband, Alan Henning.”
