PM: We Will 'Hunt Down' David Haines' Killers

David Cameron has vowed that Britain will "hunt down" those responsible for the murder of British aid worker David Haines.

Speaking from Downing Street after chairing a meeting of Cobra, Mr Cameron said the UK will do "whatever it takes" to bring the 44-year-old's killers to justice.

"We will hunt down those responsible and bring them to justice, whatever it takes," Mr Cameron said.

"David Haines was an aid worker. He went into harm's way, not to harm people but to help his fellow human beings in the hour of their direst need, from the Balkans to the Middle East.

"David Haines was a British hero. The fact that an aid worker was taken, held and brutally murdered at the hand of Islamic State sums up what this organisation stands for.

"They boast of their brutality. They claim to do this in the name of Islam. That is nonsense - Islam is a religion of peace."

Earlier in the day Mr Cameron held emergency talks with senior representatives of the military, the security services, the Foreign Office and the Home Office.

He returned to Downing Street shortly after midnight after the video emerged showing Mr Haines' death.

Government sources say the death will not change Britain's policy and Parliament will not be recalled.

IS released the footage showing Mr Haines being murdered by a knife-wielding militant, who appears to speak with a British accent.

The clip also includes a threat to kill a second hostage, who IS claims is British.
