Diane Foley, the mother of James Foley, center, accompanied by Carl and Marsha Mueller, the parents of Kayla Mueller, speaks to members of the media after the sentencing of El Shafee Elsheikh at the District Courthouse in Alexandria, Va., Aug. 19, 2022.A member of a group of British Islamic State terrorists dubbed "the Beatles" by their hostages was sentenced Friday in a U.S.
Due to a prior agreement with the United Kingdom, neither Elsheikh nor Kotey faced the death penalty. Another member of the group, Mohammed Emwazi, was killed in a drone strike in Syria in 2016. A fourth member, Aine Lesley Davis, was arrested in Turkey and extradited earlier this year to the United Kingdom to face terrorism charges.
She told reporters Friday that more than 67 U.S. nationals are currently detained and held hostage abroad. She added, "Let this sentencing make clear to all who dared to kidnap, torture or kill any American citizen abroad. That U.S. justice will find you wherever you are, and that our government will hold you accountable for your crimes against our citizens."
Carl Mueller said of Elsheikh, "He's obviously cold with no remorse throughout the whole trial and I still think he believes he was doing the right thing."
