iStock/Thinkstock(LONDON) — Officials are raising concerns over British hostage David Haines, an aid worker kidnapped by the Islamic State since 2013.
The 44-year-old is believed to be held in Syria.
Prime Minister David Cameron is urging Western leaders not to pay ransom for citizens captured by militants, with the British government maintaining that it will not be deterred from launching air strikes in the future against extremists.
ISIS has already beheaded two American journalists.
Haines worked for aid agencies in several regions around the world, including Libya and South Sudan.
