Goriest Beheading Video As IS Shows Brit Hostage Alan Henning’s Head Being Sawed Off

The Islamic State (IS) is on a decapitation frenzy again. On Friday, it released a video showing the beheading of its second British hostage, taxi driver Alan Henning. The video had all the elements of a standard IS video: the hostage who wore an orange jumpsuit blamed his government for his death and Jihadist John was attired in black garments and hood, holding a knife.

However, what sets this video apart is that in the three previous decapitation videos of James Foley, Steven Sotloff and David Haines, the actual beheading was not shown. This time, the 71-second video titled Another Message to America and its Allies, is the goriest after the screen goes dark. Jihadist John reappears and is seen sawing off the head of Henning, followed by a second shot showing the handcuffed body lying in the sand and his bloodied chopped off head atop the corpse's lower back, reports The New York Post.

The video was so sickening that YouTube pulled it out, while Info Quiderange purposely excluded the last part where bloodshed is shown.

Obviously given a line to mouth, Henning started the video with a statement: "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."

Jihadist John places the blame on Haines's decapitation on British Prime Minister David Cameron and adds: "Alan Henning will also be slaughtered. But his blood is on the hands of the British Parliament."

He was referring to the British Parliament's approval of airstrikes on the IS. More details of the beheading in this next video.

The IS also threatened to decapitate next Peter Kassig, an American hostage. Jihadist John warns, "Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment of [Syria] which keeps on striking our people. It's only right we continue to strike the necks of your people."

The 26-year-old Kassig used to be part of the elite US Army Ranger sent to Iraq in 2007. He eventually left the Army and opened an aid group, the Special Emergency Response and Assistance, for Syrian refugees confined in a Lebanese hospital.

The fourth beheading victim, the 47-year-old Henning, was a taxi driver who volunteered to drive trucks that bring relief goods to Syrians. He was abducted by the IS on Dec 26, 2013. The IS went on with his beheading despite an appeal from Henning's wife, Barbara, to release her husband.

Cameron, reacting to the beheading of Henning, said, quoted by BBC, "The fact that he was taken hostage when trying to help others and now murdered demonstrates that there are no limits to the depravity of these Isil terrorists." The PM vowed to hunt Henning's murderer and bring them to justice.

US President Barack Obama condemned Henning's beheading and promised that "Standing together with a broad coalition of allies and partners, we will continue taking decisive action to degrade and ultimately destroy Isil.

Islam scholars with progressive thinking disagree with the beheadings, says the next video.
