Indiana aid worker says in letter is afraid to die

 

INDIANAPOLIS - The parents of an Indiana aid worker threatened with beheading by the Islamic State group say he told them in a June letter he's afraid to die.

 

Ed and Paula Kassig also say a former hostage told them 26-year-old Abdul-Rahman Kassig converted to Islam voluntarily when he was sharing a cell with a devout Syrian Muslim. Their son was previously known as Peter Kassig.

 

In a statement released to media Sunday, the Kassigs say their son told them in the letter that he's scared to die, but that if he does they should take comfort knowing he "went out as a result of trying to alleviate suffering and helping those in need."
