CBS News: ISIS video claims U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig beheaded

Last Updated Nov 16, 2014 5:55 AM EST

A graphic video posted online Sunday by the militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claims to show that another U.S. captive has been beheaded. On the video, a black-clad militant with his face concealed shows off a severed head that he claims is that of 26-year-old American aid worker Peter Kassig, who changed his first name to Abdul-Rahman while in captivity. The video does not show the actual beheading.

"This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen, of your country; Peter who fought against the Muslims in Iraq, while serving as a soldier," the militant says near the end of the nearly 16-minute video. He speaks in an audible British accent despite his voice being distorted to make it more difficult to identify him. The video also showed what appeared to be the beheadings of several captured Syrian soldiers.

Kassig was captured last year while helping to provide medical aid in Syria. His friends say he converted to Islam in captivity. His family has made numerous public appeals for his release.

Kassig, an Indianapolis native, is a former Army Ranger who was honorably discharged after serving in the Iraq War, according to his parents.

Kassig went to the Middle East in 2012, first as a medical worker in Lebanon, helping Palestinian and Syrian refugees. Later that year, he started a non-governmental organization called Special Emergency Response and Assistance (SERA) to deliver food and medical aid to Syrians fleeing their country's civil war.

It was not immediately possible to confirm that it was Kassig pictured in the latest video.

A statement from U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said, "We are aware of a video that claims to show the murder of U.S. citizen Peter Kassig by ISIL [Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant]. The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity. If confirmed, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American aid worker and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We will provide more information when it is available."

Previous videos have shown the beheading of two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and two British aid workers.

Can we just go ahead and wall off that part of the world (except for Israel) and let the savages just kill each other off first?

I live in Indianapolis and the local news is going crazy over it this morning. I feel bad for his family if this is true, as his parents have not confirmed it's real yet, they are awaiting a confirmation from the government over there.

 

[seasidemike]

They are a plague in this earth and need to be wiped out fully and completely

 

[+paradox]

yeah, go ahead and believe every word that the news and media says...

now, i'm not defending isis nor any other terrorist or murdering acts, but you guys, get a grip of reality please...

there's no proof of this, just word of mouth, how do you know this is even real?

wasn't the other beheading videos ruled out as fake?

also, you people need to realize that to them it's war...

when the usa or any other western country goes to war, innocents are lost, so what's the difference?

there's none, both are wrong so stop acting like the western world ain't guilty as well..,

Except Israel!
Hang on, what?

You mean the 'democracy' and 'free nation' with the single most blood on it's hands on Earth?
60 years of driving people off of their land and murdering their children.

There are plenty of examples of civility in the Middle East. Israel, not one of them.

 

[+paradox]

they are brainwashed to think that the zionist jews, i mean, israel are innocent, which they are far from it...

 

[identityissues8]

So true, you hear the media again and again (lately) - warning people not get sucked in by ISIS 'Amazing propaganda machine' (that, by the way, isn't even that good) all the while being spoon-fed Zionist crap (about how they're under attack, despite Gaza simply not having the means to even produce threatening weaponry) while behind the scenes Israel carpet bomb a Gazan School with White Phosphorus (a well known incident, and war crime.)

Just mind-blowing.

I'll just say this. They kill one person. What's the bet that the US/someone else levels a village for it in response?

 

[DrLeftover]

"Mass Punishment" is a bitch.

But it works.

 

[Sinon]

I'm not disputing its effectiveness. I'm more commenting on how I can't bring myself to care about one person's death, when the retaliation for that will probably be hundreds of innocent deaths.

 

[DrLeftover]

The Caliphate is 'cutting their own throat' by their own words and actions.

Last week, they threatened Saudi Arabia, which had been 'unofficially' supporting them with fighters and through various channels, money, even though Officially, one of the Al Saud family's princes (of which they have a bunch) had been flying missions against them in a fighter aircraft.

Now. It is quite likely that that unofficial support is going to dry up and the official actions against them will be stepped up.

And other Islamic Republics will listen when the Saudi's take meaningful action.

When the rest of the Middle East, decides to recognize Israel's right-to-exist, then - and only then, my friend - will I begin to listen to opposing arguments. Until then, that part of the world - Israel excepted - can all go pound sand.

I say wall it off and give them all the weapons to finish off there radical asses against each other nice and fast.

And these aid workers need to get the hell out of the region. But they are brave for a real threat of losing there heads.

just like how israel can't recognize palestinian's right to exist on their own land that israel took from them? makes perfect sense... israel wants the pretty much the rest of the middle east to not exist...

[DrLeftover]

I didn't say it was.

But in the case of the executions by the Caliphate, I don't believe those to be false flags or disinformation.

It has been demonstrated by multiple unrelated credible organizations, including outside Islamic outlets, that ISIL has become very good at killing defenseless civilians.
