A profile of David Haines

World Today

David Haines was a father and a husband, but he was also a hostage of ISIS.

The Islamic State took credit for the murder of British Aid worker David Haines and said that it killed Haines to send a message America’s allies.

Michael Haines, David Haines’ brother, spoke on behalf of the family following the release of the Islamic State video of his brother’s beheading.

“We can only praise and give our thanks to agencies that have helped us during our time of need. We agree with the government in that ISIL are extremely dangerous and pose a threat to every nation, every religion, every politics and every person,” Michael Haines said.
