A jury began deliberations Wednesday in the trial of El Shafee Elsheikh, a former British national who went to Syria to join ISIS and allegedly became a member of the notorious kidnap-and-murder cell known as the "Beatles."
Wrapping up the government's case, prosecutor Raj Parekh said it had been proven "beyond any shadow of a doubt" that Elsheikh was one of the hostage-takers dubbed the "Beatles" by their captives because of their British accents.
