UK Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday ruled out paying ransom to secure the release of a British hostage being held by ISIS militants.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Cameron stressed that the UK will not "waver" in its aim to defeat terrorism and that every possible option will be considered to protect the British man even as he condemned the "barbaric" beheading of a second US hostage.

"There is no doubt in my mind that the many tens of millions of dollars that ISIS (IS) have raised from ransom payments is going into promoting terrorism including terrorism affecting our own country," he said.

IS terrorists threatened to kill a British hostage in a video of US journalist Steven Sotloff's death unless US air strikes in Iraq are stopped.
