The Islamic State (EI) released on Saturday night a new video in which the alleged beheading of David Cawthorne shown Haines, a British aid worker, 44, father of two children, kidnapped by Islamists in Syria since March 2013 . the images, broadcast on the Internet are "a message to the allies of the United States," further pressure on David Cameron's cabinet, which has shown its intention to join the international alliance against the jihadists in Iraq and Syria, led from Washington. The images have been verified by the government in London. A spokesman for the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that they are "authentic".The British Prime Minister, after meeting Sunday with his emergency cabinet, made a statement in which he warned that Britain "will hunt those responsible and bring them to justice, no matter how long precise", he underlined. Despite the harshness of his tone, the prime minister, who has called David Haines "hero", has continued without compromising the direct participation of the Government in the American campaign of airstrikes against jihadi bases in Iraq, so far limited to logistical support.
A shock generated by the murder of Haines, a volunteer dedicated to humanitarian aid, 44 and father of two children, now comes the fear that another British hostage, Alan Henning, it becomes the latest victim of the macabre EI executions. His murderers "are not Muslims but monsters," Cameron said after meeting with the Cobra crisis group, in a statement in which he avoided explicitly mention the name of the Islamic State.
The video aired on Saturday with the murder of Haines is identical to those made public on August 19 and September 2 last, in which two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff-the latter, were murdered also with Israeli nationality. The name was pronounced in Haines recording Sotloff precisely as the next victim if the UK persisted in their efforts to fight against the Islamic State. The cooperating kneels on high ground, in a desert area, wearing an orange jumpsuit and cropped hair. At his side is his executioner, dressed in black, in his address to the camera again shows a recognizable British accent, which suggests that it is the same thing that killed the two reporters, reports the SITE website specializing in international terrorism.
Haines, in his forced speech before his death, the leaders of their country is headed. "I would like to declare that you, Cameron, are solely responsible for my execution (...). You have voluntarily entered a coalition with the United States against EI. Unfortunately, it is the British people who ultimately will pay the price for the selfish decision of our parliament, "he says. His murderer claims that, "following the trend of other British prime ministers," Cameron "can not find the courage to say no to America". That "error", he says, take your country into a "bloody and endless war." And warns that if London did not take a step back, and have prepared a new victim, Alan Henning, another aid worker kidnapped in Syria.
In addition to this British, the EI claims in certain Internet forums is holding two American also more cooperative. They have threatened to kill them if their names are made public. Haines, before turning to cooperation was an important military past, he tried to hide from his captors, according to The New York Times quoted some foreigners who spent days in captivity at his side. Finally, the video notes that the EI discovered possibly torture-based, because the executioner said: "This man has to pay the price for your promise, Cameron, arming the peshmerga [Kurdish] against IS. Ironically, it has been a decade of his life serving in the Air Force itself which is responsible for distribution of weapons "to this group insists.
Haines was a native of Perthshire, Scotland, and worked for the French NGO Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED). The association reported that he was kidnapped 19 months ago in northern Syria, near Raqqa-an area of intense jihadist domain, along with an Italian colleague Federico Motka, which was released in May by 15 European more. His experience in the Balkans, South Sudan Libya, Philippines o. He was captured when it was dedicated to help internal refugees and exiles who caused the war in Syria between detractors and related to President Bashar al-Assad. It was one of the few international field in a country where the risk of kidnapping is high and a Western trading higher in the table interests of the Islamists. His family, just on Friday, had asked EI to get in touch with them to know how David was. Your executor expressly cites a USA airstrike on Haditha Dam in western Iraq, so his death was back at least to September 7.
The American President, Barak Obama, expressed his "strong condemnation" to the crime in a statement. Facing the Islamist demand that London break its alliance with Washington in the Middle East, Obama insists that work "shoulder to shoulder" with Cameron, "with our close friend" and end up being both "perpetrators to justice" .
