IS再杀人质：刽子手操英国口音 称报复

　　极端组织“伊斯兰国”3日在互联网上公布的一段视频显示，去年在叙利亚被其扣押的英国人质艾伦·海宁被斩首杀害，海宁成为海恩斯后第二名被害的英国人质。该组织称此举是为报复英国政府参加美国打击“伊斯兰国”的空袭行动。

　　海宁现年47岁，有两个孩子，是英国曼彻斯特的一名出租汽车司机。他在去年12月作为志愿者向叙利亚运送救援物资时遭“伊斯兰国”绑架。

　　英国首相卡梅伦随即表示，杀害海宁的行为足以显示“伊斯兰国”组织的“残暴”，将严厉追捕这些刽子手直至抓获并绳之以法。

　　美国总统奥巴马随后也发表声明，称对该组织的野蛮行径表示强烈谴责，并表示将与“英国盟友并肩作战，将杀人者绳之以法”。他还表示，将与其他盟友们加强合作，果断行动打击和摧毁“伊斯兰国”组织。

　　今年8月19日、9月2日和9月13日，“伊斯兰国”先后在网上公布了三段视频，显示其分别杀害美国记者詹姆斯·福利、史蒂文·索特洛夫以及英国人质海恩斯的场景，以报复美国在伊拉克对“伊斯兰国”发动空袭。

　　英国议会下议院9月26日进行投票，通过了政府对伊拉克境内“伊斯兰国”武装进行空袭的提案，英国空军随后派出战机飞往伊拉克。

　　CAIRO, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic State (IS) militant group claimed responsibility in an online video on Friday that showed the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning.

　　In the one-minute video clip titled "Another Message to America and its Allies," roughly the same as those released after three previous murders, a masked IS militant also introduced another hostage it identified as a U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig.

　　The video was found online by the SITE private terrorism monitor and opened with a news coverage about the British parliament's vote last week to authorize air strikes against IS targets in Iraq.

　　The masked militant, who carried out the beheading in the video, has the same British accent as the killer in a previous IS video of the death of British hostage David Haines.(大意：本次斩首视屏中，蒙面武装人员同样操英国口音。——编者译)

　　"The blood of David Haines was on your hands, Cameron. Alan Henning will also be slaughtered, but his blood is on the hands of the British parliament," the killer said before he killed Henning.

　　He also warned U.S. President Barack Obama, saying that his group will continue to strike "the necks of your people," as the United States has also been carrying out aerial bombardment against his people.

　　A British Foreign Office spokesman said on Friday that if the video showing the beheading of Alan Henning was genuine, then it was a disgusting murder.

　　"We are aware of the video and are working urgently to verify the contents," he said, adding that "If true, this is a further disgusting murder. We are offering the family every support possible; they ask to be left alone at this time."

　　Also on Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said the murder of Alan Henning showed the barbarity of IS militants.

　　"The brutal murder of Alan Henning by ISIL shows just how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are," he said, adding that "My thoughts and prayers tonight are with Alan's wife Barbara, their children and all those who loved him."

　　"Alan had gone to Syria to help get aid to people of all faiths in their hour of need ... We will do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice," he said.

　　In Washington, the White House said the newly released beheading video, the fourth if proven true, is another demonstration of the extremist group's brutality.

　　Lisa Monaco, U.S. President Barack Obama's counterterrorism adviser, said the United States has seen the latest video, and is evaluating it, adding that the murder is another clear example of why the Obama administration is moving to degrade and destroy the group.

　　Alan Henning, who was a taxi driver from Salford near Manchester, was held since 2013 by the Islamic State militants. He was on an aid convoy for Syrian refugees when he was captured by the terrorists.

　　Earlier this week, Henning's wife Barbara pleaded with his captors to free her husband in a video message, in which she said that he was innocent under Islamic Sharia law, and his family needed him.

　　The extremist militants have already beheaded two U.S. journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and a British aid worker, David Haines and showed the horrifying process to the world in similar videos on The Internet.(此前，这支极端组织武装已杀害2名美国记者和1名英国援助工作者，并通过互联网视频展示这可怕的过程。——编者译)
