Shock treatment of Islamic State – propaganda video on British hostage released

The Islamic State (IS) militants have released a new propaganda that depicts a British hostage. The video showing a British man, 47-year-old Alan Henning hailing from Salford, is believed to be held hostage by the IS militants bbc.com.
It may be recalled that the IS already has blood on its hands from three hostages namely US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff apart from the UK aid worker David Haines – the threat is now on another British man Alan Henning next. This latest video does not show any beheading, but shows a man wearing orange clothing who says he is a prisoner and who asks why he and others have been abandoned by the US and UK governments.
There are no IS militants visible in the video entitled "Lend Me Your Ears" and addressed to the Western public, especially the British public, particularly Muslims.
It seems the hostage was speaking to the camera in a "kind of parody of a chat show" and went on to accuse the US and UK governments for having done things differently. Other European governments have, apparently, negotiated for the release of their hostages but not the UK or the US.
