Fears are growing for the safety of an American aid worker - who's the latest hostage threatened with execution by Islamic State militants.

Abdul-Rahman Kassig, formerly known as Peter, appeared at the end of the video of the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning, which the terrorist group posted online on Friday night.
