French Hostage in Algeria Beheaded After Demands Rejected

Islamic Militants in Algeria have beheaded French hostage Herve Gourde, a tourist and mountain guide, after France said it would not meet its demands. France's response:

The group in Algeria is called Jund al-Khilafa. It recently pledged allegiance to ISIS.
