A new video appearing to show the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning held captive by ISIS has appeared online.
In the sad footage, posted to YouTube, an Islamic State fighter clad in black gestures at the camera with a knife before the attack begins.
The clip shows a fighter, who is believed to be Jihadi John, standing next to Henning as he kneels on the ground in the middle of the desert.
The footage begins with an English-language news report broadcast on the night Parliament voted to approve airstrikes against Islamic State.
In the footage, Henning says: '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.
In a clear and fluent London accent, the fighter adds: 'The blood of David Haines was on your hands Cameron, Alan Henning will also be slaughtered but his blood is on the hands of the British parliament.
'Obama you have started your aerial bombardment which keeps on striking our people, so it’s only right we continue to strike the necks of your people.'
The video ends with the militant threatening a man the identified as American Peter Kassig, a veteran of the Iraq war.
The apparent beheading, which has not yet been confirmed by the Foreign Office, comes just three days after Mr Henning's wife Barbara issued a tearful plea to the group.
They don't have heart, what God will judge.
