President Obama mourned the murder of a French hostage killed by the ISIS-linked Algerian group Jund al-Khilafah.
The hostage, Herve Gourdel, was beheaded in response to French assistance in airstrikes on ISIS target inside Syria on Monday, the militants said.
"So many nations represented here today, including my own, have seen our citizens killed by terrorists who target innocents," Obama said speaking at the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday. "And today the people of the world have been horrified by another brutal murder, Herve Gourdel by terrorists in Algeria. President Hollande, we stand with you and the French people, not only as you grieve this terrible loss but as you show resolve against terror and in defense of liberty."
