El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are two of four men who were called "the Beatles" by the hostages because of the captors' British accents.

The two British militants are believed to be part of an Islamic State group that beheaded hostages and was known as "The Beatles."

Two British members of the Islamic State group who allegedly belonged to a cell notorious for the beheading of hostages in northern Syria say that revoking their citizenship denies them a fair trial.
