(Sky News) The government will reject any attempt by a member of the ISIS “Beatles” terror cell to be transferred from a Colorado prison to a high-security jail in the UK, Sky News understands.
El Shafee Elsheikh, known as “Jihadi Ringo,” grew up in west London before he left the UK for Syria in 2012 to fight for the Islamic State (ISIS).
The former mechanic and three other men, who all grew up in the UK, were members of a terror cell that was nicknamed “The Beatles” because of their British accents.
Elsheikh has been serving eight life sentences in a US jail for his involvement in a hostage-taking scheme which involved torturing, beating and executing prisoners.
