United States President Barack Obama on Wednesday said the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of American journalist James Foley by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militants, and added that the Iraq-based terrorist group speaks for no religion and its ideology is bankrupt.
The Islamic State group has released a video showing the beheading of US aid worker Peter Kassig in a warning to Washington as it prepares to send more troops to Iraq.
A short video released by Islamic State militants on Friday night shows the apparent beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning, with the executioner blaming the death on the United Kingdom for joining the US-led bombing campaign against the group.
Identifying Islamic State terrorists as uniquely brutal, United States President Barack Obama has announced that the country will lead a broad coalition to roll back the threat posed by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his militia.
