The
26-year-old Kassig, who founded an aid group to help Syrians caught in their
country's brutal civil war, "was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a
terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity," Obama
said in a statement.
He denounced
the extremist group, which he said "revels in the slaughter of innocents,
including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction."
The slain
hostage's parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, said they were "heartbroken"
by their son's killing, but "incredibly proud" of his humanitarian
work.
Unlike
previous videos of slain Western hostages, the footage released Sunday did not
show the decapitation of Kassig or the moments leading up to his death.
For how will
dis insistent killings continue?
