Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to hunt down and bring to justice the Islamic State fighters responsible for the killing of a British aid worker.
Cameron's comments on Sunday came after an emergency meeting with his top security advisers in response to an online video that purports to show the beheading of David Haines who was abducted while working in Syria.
"David has been murdered in the most callus and brutal way by an organisation, which is the embodiment of evil," Cameron said.
"The fact that an aid worker was taken, held and brutally murdered at the hand of ISIL sums up what this organisation stands for," Cameron added.
"They are killing and slaughtering thousands of people; Muslims, Christians and minorities across Iraq and Syria. They boast of their brutality. They claim to do this in the name if Islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not Muslims, they are monsters."
Cameron said that the UK could not afford to ignore the threat of IS and would continue to support the international coalition that is fighting the group.
