Jury deliberates in British ISIS case of El Shafee Elsheikh, accused of kidnapping scheme that led to deaths of 4 Americans

A jury resumes its deliberations Thursday morning in the case of El Shafee Elsheikh, one of the three British men accused of operating a brutal ISIS hostage-taking scheme that led to the deaths of four Americans. 

Collectively known as the "Beatles" for their British accents, Elsheikh and his co-conspirators Mohammad Emwazi and Alexanda Kotey worked together to kidnap and abuse more than two dozen Western hostages, according to prosecutors. He's charged with participating in the plot that led to the deaths of American hostages James Foley, Peter Kassig, Kayla Mueller and Steven Sotloff.

"This defendant put the terror in terrorism himself," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Raj Parekh said during closing arguments in Alexandria, Virginia, Wednesday.
