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 a British man, previously thought to be one of the unmasked Isis killers featured in a propaganda film showing the killing of American aid worker Peter Kassig, has said the man in the video is not his son.
Ahmed Muthana, told The Times: "I looked at the line-up and I didn't recognise my son. One of them looked like him but the eyes and nose are different."
Video analysis commissioned by the paper also suggested that when compared to previous photos of student Nasser Muthana the man in the video did not appear to be the same person.
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
