Troisième décapitation d'un américain par l'État islamique

Peter Kassig, devenu Abdul-Rahman Kassig après sa conversion à l'Islam, aurait été exécuté par l'État islamique. Il avait quitté l'armée américaine pour devenir travailleur humanitaire.

 "The militant appears to be the same one who carried out the previous beheadings. U.S. and British authorities have identified the man but have not released any information about him to the public.

  Kassig was detained Oct. 1, 2013 in eastern Syria while traveling in an ambulance.

Kassig, 26, is the fifth Western hostage to be killed by the Islamic State in a series of gruesome videos. The latest video was the longest in length, running more than 15 minutes and showed other men, apparently Syrian government soldiers, being decapitated."
