‘Fourth ISIS Beatle’ Aine Davis pleads guilty to terrorism charges

(ITV) A former drug dealer, alleged to be the fourth member of the so-called ISIS “Beatles” kidnap gang, has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, after a failed bid by the home secretary to have him sent to the US.

Aine Davis, 39, from Hammersmith, West London, pleaded guilty to funding terrorism by persuading his wife to try and smuggle 20,000 euros to him in Syria, using a friend who hid the money in her knickers.

He also pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm for terrorist purposes after posing with a Kalashnikov assault rifle alongside other fighters in a picture he sent to his wife in Britain.

Davis is the only member of the so-called “Beatles” to face charges in Britain, although he has denied being a member of the group and the allegations did not feature in the charges against him.
