## Transcript

David Haines was a father and a husband, but he was also a hostage of ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Captured in March 2013 working at a Syrian refugee camp for French aid group Acted Haines had more than a decade of experience doing aid work, providing logistics to Handicap International. And working as an unarmed peace keeper with non- violence peace force. He grew up in Scotland, proudly wearing a kilt for his wedding. His family has declined a comment. But their plight is clear online. His wife [ UNKNOWN ] waits with their four year old daughter in Croatia, where they live. His teenage daughter from his first marriage makes it clear online how much she misses her father by answering just three questions.

What's missing in your life that would make you very happy? My dad being at home, she answers. As his family waited. David Haines had become a pawn in the game of hostages now played by ISIS. Atika Shubert, CNN, London.
