Alan Henning (15 August 1967 – c. 3 October 2014) was an English taxicab driver-turned-volunteer humanitarian aid worker.() He was the fourth Western hostage killed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) whose killing was publicised in a beheading video. Henning was captured during ISIL's occupation of the Syrian city of Al-Dana in December 2013. He was there helping provide humanitarian relief. The British Foreign Office withheld news of Henning's capture while it attempted to negotiate his release. Local colleagues warned Henning not to cross the border into Syria, but he said he wanted to make sure the supplies were delivered safely.〔(British hostage Alan Henning did not know he was helping aid convoy with alleged links to militants, By Richard Spillett, MailOnline, 16 September 2014 )〕〔(British hostage Alan Henning kidnapped half an hour after crossing Syrian border; Alan Henning, a taxi driver from Manchester, went to Syria after becoming involved with a charity that has links to alleged extremists ), By Bill Gardner, Ben Farmer and Gordon Rayner, The Telegraph, 15 September 2014〕〔(Charity Commission investigates aid charity over alleged Syrian fighter links ), Celina Ribeiro, Civil Society Media Ltd, 4 April 2014〕 When he was captured, Henning was a driver for the organisation Rochdale Aid 4 Syria. Rochdale Aid 4 Syria campaigned the release of Al Qaeda terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, currently serving an 86-year prison sentence. The group even named projects in her honour. Rochdale Aid 4 Syria was condemned fiercely by the local MP Simon Danczuk.() Rochdale Aid 4 Syria also raised money on behalf of Al-Fatiha Global, a British-based organisation which claimed to provide humanitarian aid to those caught up in warzones. Al-Fatiha Global is a registered charity which was under investigation by the Charity Commission after one of its workers was photographed with his arms around two hooded fighters carrying machine guns. Al-Fatiha Global said that worker had been dismissed. Al Qaeda member Adam Gadahn condemned the beheading.() Henning was shown at the end of David Cawthorne Haines's execution video, released on 13 September 2014, and was referred to as being the next victim by Mohammed Emwazi, the media described as "Jihadi John" of the ISIL cell described as The Beatles. A video of Henning's beheading was released on 3 October 2014.〔 After his execution, British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered MI5, MI6, and GCHQ to track and kill or capture the killer. ==Early life== Henning was a cab driver in Salford, Greater Manchester, in North West England before he travelled to Syria in December 2013 to be a volunteer aid worker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News – Alan Henning 'killed by Islamic State' )〕 He lived in Eccles, Greater Manchester.
