ISIS Beheads American Aid Worker

Peter Kassig

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) has beheaded yet another western aid worker.

CBS News reports that the video showed one of the militants standing over the severed head of the 26-year-old US victim, Peter Kassig.

ISIS captured Kassig last year, forced him to convert to Islam, and changed his name to “Abdul-Rahman” while he was in captivity.

In the video, the militant who beheaded Kassig, blamed President Barack Obama for the group’s violence.

“We say to you, Obama…you claim to have withdrawn from Iraq four years ago…here you are: you have not withdrawn. Rather, you hid some of your forces behind your proxies,” said the terrorist.

The deceased was a former U.S Army ranger, who was providing medical aid to Syrian refugees of the civil war when he was captured.
