Friends of the British hostage facing brutal murder by Islamic State fanatics last night said the British Government was 'letting an innocent man die' by refusing to pay a ransom for his release.
While his wife told the Mail she is defiantly refusing to give up hope that David Haines will be rescued, close friends of the couple said his fate has been sealed by the UK's refusal to negotiate with terrorists.
...But she [Haines'2nd wife Dragana] criticised the British government for not paying off Islamic State terrorists to save him, as other European countries have done.
...'We know Dragana can't tell us what is happening. She is so strong. She will not give up hope that David will be rescued,' the friend said.
'She is in shock. She can't understand what is happening to him. I watched the video and I can't believe the UK does nothing to save him from those animals.
'If he was from Italy or France they would pay and he would be back with his beautiful wife and their child.
'The UK and America won't pay ransoms so they are letting an innocent man die. Dragana is so in love, I don't know how she copes. Her daughter will grow up with no father.
'It is the worst thing. I watched the video and he is so thin. I can't think about what they are doing to him. What Dragana is going through is the worst thing in the world. He should never have gone there. He is always trying to do good things for work but it is too risky. It is not worth the risk.
'I know people say paying terrorists is bad. But that is politics. This is a real man. How can the UK see this and they do nothing?'

So, how can the UK see this and they do nothing?
Well, I could ask this exact same question of some people I know, some of whom have children.
The UK and USA are not paying ransoms and allowing British and American hostages to be beheaded to provoke calls for war on Syria. President Assad should have been ousted years ago in The Arab Spring. This 'revolution' was a Plan B for an initial Plan A in which there would be war and regime change on seven nations in five years. And because Assad was still in power in the summer of 2013, NATO and its allies ran a false flag in Ghouta that was designed to provoke calls for intervention in Syria on behalf of the rebels, who at the time faced total annihilation. But it failed and no war ensued. So the rebels escaped to Iraq, an escape that was allowed to happen, and once in Iraq sympathetic officers in the Iraqi Army ordered their units to stand down. The rebels, then armed with weapons and bank accounts, declared The Islamic State and have been putting down any resistance or protest by summary execution, often beheading. But although IS has no air force, one Scud missile and a few pick up trucks with guns, IS is now, we are told, a threat to the world. However, several leaders have expressed their position that they will not work with Assad. But we saw what happened in Libya : given a UN SCR NATO abused that resolution to eventually kill Gaddafi. Both Syria and Libya are on that list of seven nations.
So by provoking and allowing beheadings of their citizens, the British and American governments are generating thsoe calls for war on Syria that were absent last year after Ghouta.
