London---British Prime Minister David Cameron Saturday condemned as "appalling" the purported killing of a Japanese hostage after the Islamic State (IS) group released a video.
"I utterly condemn what appears to be the despicable and appalling murder of Kenji Goto," Cameron said in a statement. "It is a further reminder that ISIL (IS) is the embodiment of evil, with no regard for human life."
A masked man with a British accent is shown in the video blaming the Japanese government for Goto's "slaughter".
