This is the fifth western hostage whose beheading was claimed by the Islamic State group. The American Kassig Peter, aged 26, was working in the humanitarian sector.
His parents said yesterday a broken heart, showing their pride in their son's commitment. In early October, the jihadists had threatened to execute him in a video, which his parents had answered this message in which they called on the kidnappers to clemency.
Peter Kassig was kidnapped in 2013 in Syria. In captivity, he converted to Islam, adopting the name of Abdul Rahman.
A year earlier, he had founded a humanitarian organization. There are ten days, his colleagues held a conference to support Lebanon.
In the video of his performance, the authenticity of which was confirmed by the White House, the hooded man speaks with a British accent. A young French also appear on the video. In Paris, the authorities are trying to verify this information.
All the reactions to the death of Peter Kassig evokes a man who had left everything to help the Syrians.
