Describing the coldblooded murder of Haines as "an act of pure evil", he has also added that countries must “drain this poison from our society.”
The PM was attending a wedding and raced back to London overnight to chair a meeting of his security Cabinet, including his advisers, officials and intelligence chiefs. He has reiterated that Islam is a religion of peace, and the militants were not Muslims but were monsters.
President Obama has condemned the murder as "barbaric" and has strongly condemned the barbaric murder of UK citizen David Haines by the terrorist group ISIL.
David Haines had been abducted in Syria in 2013 while he was engaged in working for an international aid agency and the British government had managed to keep his kidnapping secret out of concern for his safety until another video recently released by Islamic State, also known as ISIS, identified him as a captive.
The Islamic State militants had earlier beheaded two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, apart from Kurdish and Lebanese fighters, and posted the video evidence online. After the last video showing the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff, the ISIS had threatened to kill Haines next and briefly showed him on camera.
