Al-Qaeda made an appeal to the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) to release British hostage, Alan Henning, on the grounds he was an honest and upright aid worker, who genuinely tried to ease the plight of suffering Muslims, it has emerged.
The terrorist organization responsible for the September 11 attacks on the US thirteen years ago told IS its capture of the British aid volunteer, who had traveled four thousand miles to deliver vital medical equipment to Syrian refugees, was simply unacceptable.
Mr Henning, a taxi driver from Eccles in Salford, was so distressed by the plight of Muslims in the crisis-ridden state, he left his home last Christmas with his wife and two children to assist refugees in the Syrian town of Al-Dana.
A local emir or commander of Jabhaqt Al-Nusra – Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate, paid a visit to his then-allies in IS several days after Henning had been abducted. The emir reportedly challenged the IS militants who had abducted Henning, arguing their actions were “wrong under Islamic law” and “counter-productive,” a US journalist alleges.
Bilal Abdul Kareem, an American film-maker who has reported regularly from Syria, told The Independent that “anybody of any influence” – including Al-Qaeda – had made appeals to IS when it kidnapped Henning in December, warning such action would almost certainly backfire.
Kareem, who interviewed the Al-Qaeda-affiliated emir shortly after his confrontation with IS said the commander strongly challenged IS militants at the time, warning: “You have no right to abduct him. You have no reason to detain him just because he is not Muslim.”
The international community has been shocked and appalled in recent weeks, as two Western journalists and an aid worker were brutally beheaded by IS. In the Islamic State’s latest film, an IS militant clad from head to toe in an all-too-familiar black robe stood ominously over the latest hostage wielding a blunt knife.
The masked man in the film, which appeared online on Saturday, claimed Haines was killed in retaliation to Prime Minister David Cameron’s pledge to arm Kurdish forces to battle against the Sunni militant terror group in Northern Iraq. At the close of the video, the IS jihadist warned Henning would be next.
