dpa news - Islamic State claims beheading US aid worker: The Islamic State extremist group released a video on Sunday purporting to show the aftermath of the beheading of US hostage Peter Kassig, triggering an international outcry.
The video shows a masked fighter clad in black with a severed head lying on the ground that he claims is that of Kassig, a 26-year-old US aid worker captured by militants in Syria in October last year.
US President Barack Obama later confirmed the death in a statement offering condolences to the family.
The killing is the fifth execution of a Western hostage by Islamic State militants.
