MANILA: A Filipino national is suspected to be the first Asian to be involved in beheadings by the Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. 

The man, who appeared in a video released over the beheadings of 18 Syrian soldiers and American aid worker Peter Kassig last Sunday, is believed to be of Asian origin but was not named in the report by UK online site Daily Mail on Wednesday.
