Kassig Family Tweets Video Seeking 'Justice' For Son

The family of an Indianapolis man being held hostage by the Islamic State has released another video asking for justice for their son, Abdul-Rahman Kassig.

The Kassig family posted the video on Twitter on Oct. 26, asking others to share it.

The video features messages of support for the family and requests for Abdul-Rahman's release. It includes contributions from individuals around the world.

"We are grateful for the world's support of our son," a message from Ed and Paula Kassig says at the end of the video.

Abdul-Rahman was identified as the Islamic State's next execution target in a video showing the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning.
