(Worthy News) – Two British Islamic State terror suspects known as the “Beatles” were indicted in the torturing and beheading of American aid workers and journalists among others once held hostage in Syria, according to court documents made public Wednesday.
El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are two of four men dubbed “the Beatles” by the hostages they held captive, because of their British accents.
Both men appeared separately by video in US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday afternoon. They were advised of the eight charges against them and the potential punishment, which is up to life in prison. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
