British medical student in ISIS video

A father said on Monday that he believed his son, a British medical student, was among a squad of Islamic State jihadists filmed beheading Syrian soldiers in a video posted online on Sunday. Ahmed Muthana told the Daily Mail newspaper his 20-year-old son Nasser Muthana appeared to be among a group of 16 jihadists who were seen on the video, which also showed the severed head of American hostage Peter Kassig. ‘I cannot be certain, but it looks like my son,’ said Ahmed Muthana, who lives in the Welsh capital city of Cardiff. ‘He must fear Allah now for killing people. How can he expect to face Allah if he is killing human beings?’ The announcement of aid worker Kassig’s death, the fifth such killing of a Western captive by Islamic State (ISIS), formed part of the 15-minute video which showed the beheadings of at least 14 men.
