Two IS suspects plead not guilty in federal court

Two suspected Islamic State militants from Britain who were brought to the United States on Wednesday to face charges in a gruesome campaign of torture and other acts of violence against four Americans and others captured and held hostage in Syria have pleaded not guilty at federal court hearing. El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are two of four men who were dubbed “the Beatles” by the hostages because of the captors' British accents. The two men entered the not guilty plea as they appeared by video link Friday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury on Wednesday issued an eight-count indictment that accuses them of being “leading participants in a brutal hostage-taking scheme” that resulted in the deaths of Western hostages, including American journalist James Foley. The charges are a milestone in a years long effort by U.S. authorities to bring to justice members of the group known for beheadings and barbaric treatment of aid workers, journalists and other hostages in Syria. Startling for their unflinching depictions of cruelty and violence, recordings of the murders were released online in the form of propaganda for a group that at its peak controlled vast swaths of Syria and Iraq. The trial of Kotey and Elsheikh is set for January 15th, 2021.
