The self-proclaimed Islamic State in Iraq announced on the evening of September 13 that it had executed British hostage David Haines, who was kidnapped last year.

British diplomatic officials are urgently trying to determine the content of this video. If this video is genuine, this is yet another horrific act of murder by radical Islamists. The UK will provide all possible support to the victim's family./.
