The wife of British aid worker Alan Henning, held hostage by the Islamic State group, said on Tuesday she had received an audio message from him pleading for his life. Henning, a 47-year-old Manchester taxi driver, was kidnapped last December while in Syria. He first appeared at the end of an ISIS video that showed the beheading of a fellow British captive, David Haines. ‘An audio file of Alan pleading for his life has just been received by me,’ Barbara Henning said in a statement released via Britain’s foreign office.
She once again sent out a plea to Henning’s captors to release him. ‘I and people representing me continue to reach out to those holding Alan,’ she said. ‘IS continues to ignore our pleas to open dialogue. I have seen Muslims across the globe question Islamic State over Alan’s fate. The voices of the people have spoken out loud and clear.
