El Shafee Elsheikh, a former member ISIS ‘Beatles’ terror group killed 4 Americans.
El Shafee Elsheikh, a British national, was convicted on Thursday for the part he took in an ISIS hostage-taking plot that killed four Americans.
After a jury in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, deliberated for four hours, Elsheikh was found guilty on all eight counts. He is sentenced to a life-time in prison.
Three ISIS members captured were called “Beatles” for their accents. Prosecutors said Elsheikh and his friends Mohammed Emwazi and Alexenda Kotey all knew each other in England before joining the Islamic State for its activities.
The trio tortured and fought with prisoners, also forcing them to fight each other until they collapsed. Surviving hostages reported that the captors enjoyed rewriting “Hotel California” as “Hotel Osama”.
The convictions are pertaining to the deaths of four American hostages: Foley, Steven Sotloff, Kayla Mueller and Peter Kassig. Three of the four were executed in videotaped beheadings circulated online, by the ISIS Beatles. Mueller was forced into slavery and raped several times by their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before she was killed.
