As the United States intensified its actions against ISIS militants in Iraq and carried out an airstrike near Baghdad on Monday, the Islamic State released latest video entitled "A Message To The Allies of America" which showed their latest beheading victim.

The US warplanes had returned to the skies near Baghdad and strike an ISIS fighting position southwest of the capital support of the Iraqi security forces, another airstrike was also delivered near Mount Sinjar in northwestern Iraq as per the defense officials.

US Secretary of State John Kerry sought Middle East leaders to join a coalition to combat the ruthless ISIS militants. As the world leaders struggled to come up with line of attack against ISIS just days after another high-profile beheading by the Islamic State insurgents, the US military strike an ISIS position on Monday.

US Central Commander confirmed the airstrikes and were the first US assaults as part of the intensified efforts to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS that US President Barack Obama had sworn in his address last week. It was reported that six ISIS vehicles near Sinjar and an ISIS fighting position southwest of Baghdad that was firing on Iraqi troops were destroyed.  

Officials said that the airstrike was in support of Iraqi forces besieged. Meanwhile, over two dozen nations, the Arab league, the European Union and United Nations amalgamated by US Secretary of State John Kerry, calling ISIS a risk and threat to the transnational community and acquiescent to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice. However, some countries, particularly Turkey, have been diffident to pledge help but the US contends it will have all the firepower it necessities.

As Iraqi's Kurdistan region leader sought the US for intensified airstrikes, the ISIS militants released another video showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines and threatening the life of another United Kingdom hostage.

The ISIS latest beheading video entitled "A Message To The Allies of America" is the third barbaric killing of the Islamic state. The video is a direct challenge to the United States.

Last week, US President Barack Obama declared that the nation would lead a comprehensive coalition to trundle back ISIS threat and the assaults against the Islamic State would intensify from Iraq to Syria.

The ISIS militants also reportedly kidnapped and threatened to behead an Iraqi journalist who refused to work for the terrorist organization and publicly threatened nine other journalists by name in Mosul and Salahuddin provinces, demanding they cease their work and join ISIS or face execution.

Meanwhile after the latest ISIS beheading video of British aid worker David Haines, Britain will not evade its responsibility to work with allies to destroy and defeat the ISIS militants. British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Sunday that Haines' death will not lead Britain to shun their responsibility instead it have strengthen their resolve. PM Cameron sworn to work with the US to support its military action and accentuated that the coalition is not about the British troops on the ground.

As the US airstrikes intensifies in Iraq, ISIS released third beheading video. The ISIS latest beheading victim, David Haines is a British aid worker who was abducted near a Syrian refugee camp where he was working last year.
