34-year-old El Shafee Elsheikh to be sentenced for life Imprisonment

(The Quiver): On Friday, for his killings of four American hostages in Syria, a member of Islamic state Kidnap-murder cell group El Shafee Elsheikh is set to be sentenced by US court.

Currently he is facing a mandatory sentence to life in prison at Alexandria, after killing US citizens and supported a terrorist organization.

Before finding Elsheikh guilty for his part in the killings of four American citizens out of which James Foley and Steven Sotloff were journalists and Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller were aid workers.

The second member Alexanda Amon Kotey was also given a life term in prison by US District judge T.S Ellis in April.

Because of their unusual British accents, the hostage-takers, who were radicalized and raised in London, were given the moniker “Beatles” by the people they were holding hostage.

Aine Davis, a 38-year-old accused “Beatle,” was returned to Britain from Turkey last week after being detained in detention on terrorism-related accusations.

In 2015, a US drone assassinated Mohammed Emwazi, the fourth “Beatle,” in Syria.

They are suspected of kidnapping more than 20 American journalists and aid workers when they were operating in Syria between 2012 and 2015.

At Elsheikh’s trial, ten former hostages from Europe and Syria testified that they had endured months of cruel treatment from the group named “Beatles,” which included beatings, electric shocks, waterboarding, and fake executions.
