A British national who was a member of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) cell known as “The Beatles” and convicted for his role in taking roughly two dozen Westerners captive a decade ago, resulting in the deaths of four Americans, was sentenced Friday to life in prison, NBC News.

El Shafee Elsheikh was found guilty in April on charges related to the deaths of the four American hostages: James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller.
