British Hostage Killed in Nigeria

It's not just Britain, although at the video is British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

See, "British hostage killed because kidnappers thought UK was launching rescue mission":

A British contractor executed in Nigeria may have died because his kidnappers mistakenly thought British military aircraft landing in the country to ferry troops to Mali were instead part of a rescue mission.

Brendan Vaughan was killed with six colleagues, from Italy, Greece and Lebanon, who were all taken hostage last month by gunmen from Ansaru, an offshoot of Nigeria’s al-Qaeda-allied militants, Boko Haram.

William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, on Sunday promised to work with Nigeria to “hold the perpetrators of this heinous crime to account”.

“It is with deep sadness that I must confirm that a British construction worker... is likely to have been killed at the hands of his captors, along with six other foreign nationals who we believe were also tragically murdered,” he said. “This was an act of cold-blooded murder, which I condemn in the strongest terms.”

Mr Vaughan was working for Setraco, a Lebanese road construction company with extensive operations across Nigeria, and was kidnapped from the firm’s compound in the town of Jama’ale in north-east Nigeria in February.

His kidnappers promised to execute all seven hostages if there was any attempt to rescue them.
