The footage has not been verified and it is not known when it was recorded. It appears to show a militant, who has become known as Jihadi John, amid reports he has been wounded during US airstrikes in Iraq. Mr Kassig, a former soldier, was threatened at the end of a video showing the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning in October. The 26-year-old from Indiana was taken hostage in October 2013.

"To Obama the dog of rome, today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we are slaughtering your soldiers and with god's permission we will break this final and last crusade," a masked man said before he was shown beheading one of the men.
The video also showed a bloodied head on the ground, whom ISIL said in the video was that of US aid worker Peter Kassing.
"This is Peter Edward Kassig, a US citizen of your country. Peter, who fought against Muslims in Iraq, was serving as a soldier in the American army, does not have much to say," a masked person standing near the head said.

During his captivity, his family says Kassig converted to Islam and changed his name to Abdul-Rahman, which means "servant of the most merciful."
The video released Sunday is over 15 minutes long and appears to show several other men, perhaps as many as a dozen, being beheaded.

Kassig enlisted in the US army in 2004, according to his army records obtained by the Associated Press, and became a ranger.
He was deployed to Iraq in 2007, according to an interview he gave to Time magazine. He was honourably discharged from the army for medical reasons, his family said. He attended Butler University in Indianapolis between 2011 and 2013 to study political science and government, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Of course it's not real , it never is.
From the person who drives down a road shooting innocent people , the gun wielding maniac who goes into a school to randomly kill people to the Islamic terrorist who cuts peoples heads off ..... none of it's real until it's YOU running for your life from the mad gunman or you having your head separated from your body.
You stopped paying attention ? , fine go back to sleep.
I am starting to doubt the authentic of these killing videos, its the same killer in each of the videos and the same background,
Lets all go back and start believing the government then and support them to Bomb Syria and to take out Assad as well while we are at it.

Was this "Jihadi John" idiot involved again?
For all his bluster, it's comforting to imagine his anxiety over what will happen when the SAS catch him... Because they will.
I don't even want him killed, I want him dragged back to Britain and tried like the dog he is. That way we'll get to see him for what he really is - a pathetic and cowardly criminal who shames his family, country and religion.
The press alone will tear that little bigot's life to shreds.

Seriously, if they were doing this in the name of Christianity, or of Mormonism, or of Scientology, adherents of the religion worldwide would rise up in anger and denounce the acts, decry the fact that they are using the name of the religion when perpetrating these abhorrent crimes against humanity, and ask journalists to stop saying that the people doing the acts are Christians or Mormons or Scientologists and define them correctly as thugs.
This newest killing, of a man who converted to Islam, I wonder if they gave him a formal religious burial.

Oh it's real. There's some things you cannot fake.
Isis are an abomination.

They mentioned on ABC news this morning that muslims around the world were condemning this act....what that actually means, I don't know as they didn't provide any actual quotes or videos of anyone actually doing the condemning.

What do these terrorists think they will get out of these beheadings other than bombs being dropped on their heads. Maybe they were promised some rewards that they will never get.
they know that analysts in the west will study those videos for any clues to where the hostages are being held
