[Dawn] An alleged member of the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group’s "Beatles" kidnap-and-murder cell will face trial in the UK this month on terrorism charges, a judge said on Monday.

Aine Davis

...formally Aine Lesley Davis, the “Paul“ of the Beatles, was jailed in Turkey in 2017. Mr. Davis is a former druggie/drug dealer who converted to Islam, then joined ISIS to get away from temptation. He was arrested after landing at Luton airport last August on a flight from Turkey, where he’d been imprisoned for terrorism…

is accused of belonging to the notorious group of hostage-takers, who grew up and were radicalised in London.

Active in Syria from 2012 to 2015, they were allegedly involved in abducting more than two dozen journalists and relief workers from the United States and other countries.

The group members were nicknamed the "Beatles" by their captives because of their distinctive British accents.

The hostages, some of whom were released after their governments paid ransoms, were from at least 15 countries, including Denmark, La Belle France, Japan, Norway, Spain and the United States. The IS tortured and killed their victims, and released videos of the murders.

Davis, 38, will go on trial on February 27 at the Old Bailey criminal court in London, judge Mark Lucraft said on Monday.

He faces two charges related to providing money for terrorist purposes and one of possessing a firearm for a purpose connected to terrorism.

The judge also extended Davis’s detention in jug to March 3.

#1 Not sure there will be much physical evidence against the guy. Certainly not someone that you want in the general population serving our a short sentence for tertiary crimes less than what he really did. Will a London jury even convict him?
