Cameron said the militants must be defeated.
(SOUNDBITE)(English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON SAYING:
"What we see with this organisation is that is no level of depravity to which they will not sink. No appeals made any difference. The fact that this was a kind, gentle, compassionate and caring man who had simply gone to help others, the face they could murder him in the way they did shows what we are dealing with and this is going to be our struggle now, that with others we must do everything we can to defeat this organisation."
Cameron added that Britain would use all assets it had to try to find other hostages in the hands of Islamic State militants.
