Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday warned ISIS that the U.S. would pursue them all the way "to the gates of hell" to ensure they are brought to justice for beheading two American journalists.

Speaking at an event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Biden said the murders would not intimidate the U.S. because, "When people harm Americans, we don't retreat. We don't forget. We take care of those who are grieving."
