British pair, El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey, to appear in Virginia federal court
The US Department of Justice is preparing to announce charges against two men from Britain who allegedly joined Islamic State and were part of a cell that beheaded western hostages, a law enforcement official has said.
El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey believed to be two of four men known as “the Beatles” by the people they held captive because of their British accents.
