The former U.S. Army Ranger from Indianapolis was deployed to Iraq in 2007, and he decided to aid Syrian refugees after his service. He started his own aid group called Special Emergency Response and Assistance (SERA).
ISIS has threatened to execute former U.S. soldier Peter Kassig, who has given most of his young life to others, next in the gruesome video showing the beheading of British citizen Alan Henning.
A former U.S. Army Ranger from Indianapolis who was deployed to Iraq in 2007, Kassig went to help Syrian refugees in a Lebanese hospital and, in the spirit of humanitarianism shared by his fellow Islamic State captives, started his own aid group.
The group, called Special Emergency Response and Assistance, supplied Syrian refugees with blankets, cooking stoves, propane fuel tanks and other necessities, according to a 2013 Time article about the Indiana native.
The 26-year-old said he was inspired and touched by the warm reaction of Syrian locals who received the assistance.

One would think that these “aid workers” venturing into Muslim war zones would have already learned some hard lessons.
This guy’s burqa wearing mother has been identified in Britain. Perhaps it’s time to make a video of her?
Prayers up for Peter!
P.S. Army Ranger against cloaked Jihadist coward, one on one, no weapons, Ranger wins every time!
The veiled coward knows it! May that go through that black badly costumed Islamic idiot’s brain and may it haunt him as he wets himself at night.
He’s a liberal nutjob. But still a soldier.
Need to save his life. Kill his captors, and feed them to the pigs.
Humanitarian worker?? Helping Refugees? The Muslim Devils have killed at least 2 Humanitarian (I’d say Charity) Workers and 2 Journalists.
No more Mosques should be built in America, yes, that’d be fine with me if they closed them down. There are about 100 Americans that have fought for ISIS, Hagel said so even.
Did he not convert to Islam? But in any event, I agree with your plan.
It would indeed be quite interesting to see jihadists’ family members be treated as the jihadists treat the infidels. A few beheadings from the other side might actually show that the infidels can fight with fire.
Probably a Christian, too.
