A jury has begun deliberation in the trial of El Shafee Elsheikh, a British Isis fighter who is accused of involvement in a vast hostage-taking scheme that caused the deaths of British, American and Japanese hostages.
Elsheikh, 33, is the most high profile member of the notorious terror group to stand trial in the US. The Sudanese-born Londoner is alleged to have been part of an Isis hostage-taking cell operating in Syria that was dubbed the Beatles by their captives.
