[ChillDoubt]

Just breaking via Sky app by all accounts.
Expected but very sad all the same.

R.I.P. Mr Henning.

[DTCwordfan]

Bomb the sh-its, seriously go in and bomb them. Not nukes but mothers....

[tonyav]

RIP Alan Henning. More air strikes NOW.

[BlackadderV]

Too revolting for words. At the risk of causing offence I would suggest the nuclear option.

[ChillDoubt]

Not that it needs re-iterating but this really plumbs new depths. Regardless of status or the reasons for being there, to behead a man with no agenda other than to help the indigenous population, in the face of massive condemnation from within the Muslim community(even those who are marked as radicals) is particularly heinous and savage.
Where possible, they really must be bombed back to the stone age with extreme prejudice.

[ChillDoubt]

I'm obliged to Daffy for subsequently providing a link.

Sickening, thinking of his family

[RATTER15]

Bar stewards!!!! I one it would happen, so many appeals to spare made him valuable and newsworthy, just what the low life's wanted.

Begs the awful question, who's next?

[BlackadderV]

Whatever happened to the Red Cross or similar organisations from other countries? Non-combatants on a mission of mercy. Even the Nazis respected that code.

"The video ends with the militant threatening a man the identified as American Peter Kassig, a veteran of the Iraq war. "

[ChillDoubt]

Sadly Zacs, we inevitably already know.
Alan Henning is a watershed, if he wasn't going to be spared then nobody ever will.
I wouldn't be a Westerner in any capacity within 300 miles of a Muslim country right now, just not worth the risk.

I knew that they would not leave him as these are publicity and terrorism seeking sick people and more people plead the more they would enjoy. They would not listen to anyone especially any Muslim leaders or groups as they themselves know that what they are doing is against Islam.

Whilst any shape and form of humanitarian work should be applauded, I wouldn't ever offer myself myself up in such a volatile situation.The Forces are trained and to a degree protected in war zones. I struggle to understand why any one person would put their own families through such torture voluntarily. I have as an addendum done more than most for embattled countrie but I wouldn't put myself up for tender....

[chrissa1]

My heart goes out to his family.

The only way to deal with these scum is not "strategic" bombing, the only thing that will work is with troops on the ground with bombing and relentless attacks on them.
Softly softly proportional strategic missions will just drag on, they need to be hit as full on as possible wherever they are to such a degree that they wont even know its happened before its too late.
We cannot have our hands tied by the usual rules of engagement that these filth couldnt give a toss about, awe and destruction a la Iraq is the only way,so that the vast majority of those even thinking of joining up will be in no doubt as to their more than likely fete if they do decide to go and fight.

RIP Alan you didnt deserve to die in such a barbaric way x thoughts and prayers with your family xx

[lozzer50]

Cameron send in your elite troops to rid the earth of this scum.

[bazwillrun]

and I wish the media would use the correct term for whats being done by these filth, its murder, simple as that, the BBC have decided in the email news bulletin i just recieved that he was "killed", if you want to be pedantic yeah, but in reality he was murdered, doesnt matter how, murder is murder.
