The Islamic State is also responsible for kidnapping and beheading citizens of Western countries, who travelled to the Middle East for work purposes. On November 16, they beheaded 26-year old Peter Kassig, a US humanitarian worker, providing aid for Syrian refugees. Earlier the members of the terrorist group killed a humanitarian aid worker Alan Hennig, French mountaineering guide Herve Gourdel, American journalist Steven Sotloff and others.
All executions were recorded on video and published in Internet in order to intimidate western governments and prevent them from carrying out air strikes in Iraq and Syria.
