(Indianapolis Star) The family of Peter Kassig, an Indianapolis native and aid worker who was beheaded by the Islamic State in 2014, joined three other families Thursday in asking the Trump administration to bring two ISIS members back to the United States to stand trial.
“There is no nation on Earth better at bringing terrorists to justice than the United States,” the families wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece.
Kassig, who converted to Islam and went by Abdul-Rahman Kassig at the time of his death, was captured in 2013 while doing humanitarian work in the Middle East.
British and U.S. authorities say Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, ISIS members who are part of a group nicknamed the “Beatles,” are responsible for 27 killings, including Kassig’s.
