A federal jury in Virginia convicted El Shafee Elsheikh, one of a group of UK-born ISIS terrorists known as “The Beatles,” of joining a hostage-taking scheme that led to the killing of four Americans.
The jury deliberated for four hours before returning a guilty verdict on all charges Thursday against 33-year-old Elsheikh, who now faces a possible penalty of up to life in prison.
Elsheikh’s trial featured sickening testimony from surviving hostages and family members of the victims: journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller.
