David Cameron was briefed today about the ongoing hunt for Islamic State (IS) militants responsible for the murders of Western hostages.
The Prime Minister chaired a session of the Government's Cobra committee where he was updated by intelligence chiefs about their progress in trying to track down militants responsible for killing westerners including US hostage Peter Kassig.
The father of British man Nasser Muthana said one of the unmasked Isis killers featured in the latest propaganda film showing the beheading of an American aid worker "looks like" his son.
Peter Kassig, known as Abdul-Rahman, was taken hostage in Syria in October 2013. Distressing video footage showing his apparent death appeared on social media over the weekend. His family said they are heartbroken to learn the news of his death.
Nasser Muthana, 20, from Cardiff featured on a Islamic State video last summer. He features as part of a line-up of fighters in the latest beheading video, but is not shown killing Kassig.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Nasser's father said:
Mr Muthana's other son Aseel is also thought to be in Syria.
