Alan Henning was a 47-year-old former taxi driver from Greater Manchester
International leaders have condemned the killing of British man Alan Henning by the Islamic State (IS) group.

The 47-year-old former taxi driver from*Greater Manchester*was captured in Syria last December*while he was helping to deliver a convoy of aid.

In a video released yesterday, a masked IS fighter beheads Mr Henning and threatens a US captive, aid worker Peter Kassig.

US President Barack Obama said the United States would bring those responsible to justice.

"Standing together with a broad coalition of allies and partners, we will continue taking decisive action to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL," he said in a statement, referring to IS.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to "hunt down" the killers.

He said the killing "shows just how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are", and promised to "do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice".

The United Nations Security Council described it as "heinous and cowardly".

French President Francois Hollande expressed outrage, saying: "This crime, like previous ones, will not be unpunished."

American reporters James*Foley and Steven Sotloff*and British aid worker*David Haines*were all previously executed on camera.

The parents of Mr*Foley, who was*beheaded by IS in August, have called on the world to unite against the militants.

Speaking on RTÉ's Late Late Show, John and Diane Foley*said Mr Henning was "another innocent" who had been bringing aid to Syrians.

They said the world community needed to come together "in a big way" to defeat the Islamic State group.

They said what had happened to their son and to Mr Henning could happen to anyone be they humanitarian worker, journalist, tourist or foreign student.

Canada to vote on joining fight against IS in Iraq



Canada is poised to join the international coalition launching air strikes on*IS*in Iraq after Prime Minister Stephen Harper sought parliament's support yesterday.

If politicians approve the action on Monday, it will be Canada's first military expedition since Libya in 2011.

Mr Harper said members of the House of Commons, where his Conservative Party enjoys a solid majority, would be asked to vote on the six-month "counter-terrorism" mission.

In making a case for war, Mr Harper said: "The threat ISIL (IS) represents is real, serious, and explicitly directed in part at our country."

"Left unchecked this terrorist threat can only grow."

F-16 fighters from the Netherlands are poised to join the action against the IS in Iraq as early as this weekend.

The Netherlands previously said it would send six F-16s to take part in the campaign to smash the jihadists, plus two in reserve.

However, the country said it would not join air strikes in Syria without a UN mandate.

Dutch personnel will also train Iraqi security forces, among other measures, as the Netherlands join a growing international coalition against IS, which has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria.

In Syria, the*US-led coalition has carried out new air strikes against jihadists from IS outside a key Kurdish border town, activists and a monitor have said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group, said the coalition hit at least four areas late yesterday on the southern and southeastern fronts outside Kobane, also known as Ain al-Arab.
