Algeria's Isis-linked group Jund al-Khilafah has reportedly beheaded French hostage Hervé Gourdel, according to a video that emerged online.

Gourdel, a 55-year-old mountaineer from Nice, was seized by the group in the north-east area of Kabylie.

Khilafah militants had given a 24-hour deadline to French president Francois Hollande to halt air strikes on the Islamic State (also known as Isis) in Syria. They threatened to kill Gourdel if France refused to do so. The French government insisted it will not back down.

The video threat showed the white-haired Gourdel flanked by masked men holding Kalashnikov rifles. Foreign minister Laurent Fabius had confirmed that the video was authentic.

1. Also: Mali beheading: Abducted Tuareg man decapitated

A Tuareg man who was abducted last week by suspected Islamist militants has been found beheaded in northern Mali.

Four other men who had been kidnapped with him have been released, say residents of Zouera village, some 80km (50 miles) north of Timbuktu.

Villagers believe their abductors were members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) targeting alleged spies.

French troops forced Islamist militants from key towns in the north last year and a UN force is now on the ground.

5. It's fucking pointless ..

nobody really gives a fuck! Can't get my head (excuse the pun) around the alleged fact this beheading shit spurs on western or otherwise jeehaddeez - WTF is wrong with this world? Same true for the War mentality - why not just get the fuck out of Arabia and invest in renewable might cost a wee bit more but less wars innit!

Lived through the IRA/UDA thing (one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter) but these IS folks are just fucking nutz nasty fucks? No disrespect to Islam but it's like 1435AD or so - that feudal thing is part of life so let them battle for 500 years n all will be cool n they'll have McDonalds.

Hat's off to Journo's and Charities for trying to help the needy but hey don't go into the mental hospital if your sane - it's disgusting what's going on in our world.

*head under the sand again lol*
