Alan Henning (15 August 1967 – c.?3 October 2014) was an English taxicab driver-turned-volunteer humanitarian aid worker.
He was the fourth Western hostage killed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) whose killing was publicised in a beheading video. Henning was captured during ISIL's occupation of the Syrian city of Al-Dana in December 2013.
He was there helping provide humanitarian relief.
The British Foreign Office withheld news of Henning's capture while it attempted to negotiate his release. Local colleagues warned Henning not to cross the border into Syria, but he said he wanted to make sure the supplies were delivered safely.When he was captured, Henning was a driver for the organisation Rochdale Aid 4 Syria.
Henning was shown at the end of David Cawthorne Haines's execution video, released on 13 September 2014, and was referred to as being the next victim by Mohammed Emwazi, the media described as "Jihadi John" of the ISIL cell described as The Beatles.
A video of Henning's beheading was released on 3 October 2014.
In an al-Qaeda magazine interview, spokesman Adam Gadahn condemned the beheading.
After his murder, British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered MI5, MI6, and GCHQ to track and kill or capture the killer.
Emwazi was killed in a drone strike in 2015.
