    Hammond’s comments come after U.S. officials confirmed the grisly video showing Islamic State militants beheading Foley and threatening to kill another hostage. Hammond says the person in the video with Foley “appears to have been a British person.”

    Hammond told the BBC on Wednesday that Britain was aware that UK nationals were involved in the commission of atrocities, making jihad with Islamic State extremists and other organizations.

    Hammond says the possible involvement of a Briton underscored the risks that those now fighting with Islamic militants could return to Britain and carry out attacks at home.

    Why do these Moslem terrorists wear masks? Are they ashamed of what they’re doing and don’t want family and friends to recognize their heroism?

    And anyone is surprised? British Muslims are some of the cruelest, most radical sick barbarians in the world.

    So sad. He knew he was about to die, and yet he was so beaten into submission he did not even squirm, try to run, fight back or do anything any person would do when faced with a threat.
