David Cameron has said Britain must "use everything we have in our armoury" to squeeze the Islamic State terror group out of existence.
Cameron joined US president Barack Obama to insist that Britain and America will not waver following the murders of two US journalists and threats against the life of a British hostage by the jihadi group in Iraq.
They are joining other leaders of Western powers for a Nato summit in south Wales which will be dominated by the situation in Iraq, as well as the stand-off with Russia over Ukraine.
Mr Cameron restated his policy that Britain will not pay ransoms to free nationals held by terror groups, but said that this meant the Government had a duty to do "everything we can" to help hostages.
He said he had not ruled out UK involvement in air strikes on IS, but stressed that the priority was support for those already fighting the militants on the ground.
