American Hostage Killed In Rescue Mission: Kayla Mueller's Parents Pleaded For Negotiation, US Special Forces Went Ahead With Raid, Cost Kayla Her Life, Fourth American Killed At Hands Of ISIS

American Hostage Killed In Rescue Mission - Years after her death in 2013, Kayla Mueller's parents have finally spoken up about the failed rescue mission that cost their daughter's life. Mueller is the fourth American hostage to be killed at the hands of the Islamic State militants. Could her life have been saved if the US Special Forces had listened to Mueller's parents to deal with a negotiation instead?

Kayla Mueller, the American hostage killed in rescue mission, was an aid worker who was kidnapped by ISIS militants back in Aug. 2013. Her Syrian boyfriend was also held captive but was released later on. According to reports, ISIS demanded $6.6 million for her release. Rather than deal with the negotiation, US Special Forces went on with their raid that cost Kayla's life.

"We are heartbroken to share that we've received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller has lost her life," shares Mueller's parents in a statement, in a report by Daily Beast. "Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian. She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace."

Following the fourth American hostage killed in rescue mission, Pentagon officials will not investigate the death of Kayla Mueller. Why so? US Officials claim there is no proof that Mueller had indeed died during the Jordanian airstrike.

As for President Obama, he claims to find and bring justice to the American hostage killed in rescue mission. While US officials continue to banter about what to do with hostages held by ISIS militants, the death of Kayla would only hope to serve as a reminder that airstrikes do nothing more but death and damage.

Kayla is the fourth American hostage killed in rescue mission. Three other hostages were all men who had been beheaded. Videos of the beheading were publicly released. Other victims included two Japanese and two British hostages.
