A short video released by ISIS on Friday shows the apparent beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning, with the executioner blaming the death on the United Kingdom for joining the U.S.-led bombing campaign against the group. Before he is killed, Henning speaks to the camera, referencing the British Parliament's decision to participate in coalition of more than 40 countries who have banded together to go after the so-called Islamic State terror group in Iraq and Syria. At the end of the video, ISIS shows American aid worker Peter Kassig and threatens his life. There is no reason to believe the video is not authentic, a U.S. intelligence official told CNN, adding that American officials are studying it.
