Captured jihadi 'Beatles' should suffer 'long, painful death', says victim's daughter

Posted: 09 Feb 2018 01:00 PM PST

Captured jihadi 'Beatles' should suffer 'long, painful death', says victim's daughterThe two captured members of the jihadist execution squad dubbed the Beatles should be subjected to "a long, slow, painful death", according to the grieving daughter of one of their victims. But Bethany Haines, who was just 17 when her father David was murdered in September 2014, accepted it was unlikely the two men would be sentenced to death. Instead she pleaded for them never be freed from jail. The capture of Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh was welcomed by the families of their victims. The men were part of the so-called Beatles, who brutalised hostages and who were executed by Mohammed Emwazi, nicknamed 'Jihadi John'. Emwazi was killed in a drone strike while the fourth member Aine Davis is languishing in a Turkish jail. It is reckoned the gang executed  about 25 people, including Mr Haines and Alan Henning, a Manchester taxi driver kidnapped on an aid convoy to Syria. Alexanda Kotey Three Americans were also murdered - journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid worker Peter Kassig - and two Japanese citizens Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto. Members of the Syrian armed forces were also executed. The beheadings of Western hostages shocked the world, the gruesome killings filmed and then broadcast online as propaganda for the so-called Islamic State. Miss Haines, from Scotland, said: "My personal opinion is that they die a long, slow, painful death and a lot of people will understand that they should not be allowed to live. "Realistically that is not going to happen and the best thing that could happen is they are locked up and they throw away the key."  El Shafee Elsheikh Nicolas Henin, a French journalist who was held hostage by Islamic State for 10 months, called for the men to be tried in Britain. Mr Henin told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I would like to see them brought back to Britain, just like I would like to see all other European jihadis brought back to their home countries, to be judged fairly in their home country. "Because the worst thing we can do with a terrorist is to deprive him from his right because then you make the terrorist a victim." Mohammed Emwazi Diane Foley, the mother of James Foley, said the men's detention would "hopefully protect others from this kind of crime". She added: "Their crimes are beyond imagination. They really have not done anything good in the world, so I think they need to spend the rest of their life being held."

U.S. dismisses fears of wider war after deadly Syria clashes

Posted: 08 Feb 2018 03:17 PM PST

U.S. dismisses fears of wider war after deadly Syria clashesBy Phil Stewart and Lisa Barrington WASHINGTON/BEIRUT (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis dismissed concerns on Thursday that the United States was being dragged into a broader conflict in Syria, after a major clash with pro-Syrian government forces overnight that may have left 100 or more of them dead. The U.S.-led coalition said it repelled an unprovoked attack near the Euphrates River by hundreds of troops aligned with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who were backed by artillery, tanks, multiple-launch rocket systems and mortars. The incident underscored the potential for further conflict in Syria's oil-rich east, where the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias holds swathes of land after its offensive against Islamic State.

Trump administration reportedly drafting rules to target immigrants who use food stampsA new proposal being drafted by the Trump administration would reportedly allow immigration officials to consider an immigrants' use of government programmes when deciding whether or not to grant them permanent status. The draft rule, seen by Reuters, is a sharp departure from current US law, which prevents immigration officials from taking immigrants' use of public benefits like food assistance and health insurance subsidies into account when reviewing their application. The rule would not apply to permanent residents seeking citizenship, but would affect the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who apply for permanent status in the US each year.
