A former British member of the Islamic State terror group has been sentenced to life in prison in the United States.
El Shafee Elsheikh was among a group of British IS members who carried out a brutal reign of terror in Syria. They became known as The Beatles because of their English accents, a name given to them by their captives.
The judge said Elsheikh’s actions were horrific, barbaric and brutal.
