Inside WORLD : UK's Cameron condemns Islamic State as 'depraved'
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron has condemned the Islamic State group as a "depraved organization" after the extremists released a video claiming to show that militants have beheaded U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig.
Cameron said that like others who have been "murdered in cold blood" by the group, Kassig was a selfless humanitarian worker who had gone to the region to help others. Cameron said Sunday the video "underlines the deplorable depths to which these terrorists are prepared to go — savagely murdering a compassionate man."
The video, which also purports to show extremists beheading a dozen Syrian soldiers, ends with a militant standing over what he calls the severed head of Kassig. U.S. officials said they were working to determine the video's authenticity.
