Member of ISIS torture squad 'The Beatles,' which killed U.S. hostages, says he's sorry: 'The truth has to come out'
One of two captured British members of a torture squad within the Islamic State militant group , has confessed to arranging the ransoms of Western hostages and said he's sorry, speculating that his confession may expedite his extradition to the United States., alongside another British member of the militant group Alexanda Kotey.
Kotey and Elsheikh, both with connections to West London, confirmed they had been involved in the ransoming of Western hostages captured by ISIS during the group's dominance over vast swathes of territory across Iraq and Syria, which began in the summer of 2014. However, they have denied being involved in any of the acts of violence or murder, which became their group's calling card.
"I was a fighter," Kotey said."Extracting from them email addresses for communications. For example, if it was a proof of life question, something that only they would be able to answer," he added. A masked militant, identified by the Washington Post as a Briton named Mohammed Emwazi and nicknamed"Jihadi John," brandishes a knife in a 2014 video obtained from SITE Intel Group on February 26, 2015. He was killed in an airstrike later that year.Elsheikh confirmed that he had also been involved in"initially just liaising between the foreigner prisoners and the people dealing with their negotiations process," as he described it.
As a whole, the four members of The Beatles have been accused by former captives of torture and murder. The group included Mohammed Emwazi, who executed U.S. journalists
