Islamic State of Iraq and Syria released another disturbing video on the Internet Saturday evening they stated "showcases" the beheading of British national David Haines, an aid worker who volunteered to help victims of the terrorist conflict

In the video created by ISIS, a masked Islamist with a British-sounding accent addresses the United Kingdom's Prime Minister David Cameron, before appearing to brutally slice David Haines's head off of his body. The 44-year-old Scottish citizen had been abducted in 2013 while working for a French agency NGO (non-governmental agency). Earlier on Saturday, Haines' family begged the captors of the father of two to make contact and discuss the death threat..

The video, which is just as disturbing as the beheadings of the two American journalists -- James Foley and Steven Sotloft -- shows Haines kneeling in the sand wearing an orange jumpsuit, just as Foley and Sotloft did. The terrorist threatens Britain for helping to arm Kurdish forces in Iraq who are battling the Islamic State.

Meanwhile in the African nation of Uganda, police reported that they uncovered a terrorist plot by Somalia's al-Qaida ally Al Shabaab to attack the United States Embassy in Kampala.

The U.S. embassy staff had warned U.S. citizens earlier on Saturday to at their homes while police conduct a counterterrorism dragnet in search of the suspected terrorist cell. Ugandan police say they have already made several arrests.
