Two members of the group dubbed the ISIS Beatles may be returned to the UK to face justice. Currently, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh are in the US were they are waiting to be tried, the Daily Mirror reports. But now, the Crown Prosecution Service is set to review that decision and see whether justice can be faced in the UK.
The two are both from West London and, along with fellow Brit Jihadi John, are said to have tortured hostages in Syria.
Reports suggest that they would be tried in Virginia.
That state has the death penalty.
Kotey faced five charges of murders and eight counts of hostage-taking.
National security adviser Sir Mark Seawall told a conference: “If we can bring them back to the UK, we will.
“If it is better done elsewhere, then we will work with allies to do that.”
It comes after Turkey’s president Tayyip Erdogan caused fury after his country’s incursion into Syria last month.
Last week, one fighter from the terror-group was sent back to the UK and brought into custody after Turkey refused to keep hold of the unnamed prisoner.
This came following Erdogan’s threat to release the fighters if Western nations refused to repatriate their nationals who went to Syria to join ISIS.
Dr Simon Waldman, an associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society’s Centre for the New Middle East and a visiting research fellow at King’s College London, told Express.co.uk: “I agree partly with what Erdogan is saying here, that Turkey should not be a hotel for ISIS fighters.
“It should be the policy of the United Kingdom and other European countries to repatriate those who joined the ISIS fight and put them on trial, and they should not just be left in Turkey or Syria.
“That being said, the problem with the Erdogan policy is this linkage, he is linking this sending of ISIS fighters back to Europe with the creation of the ‘safe zone’ in Kurdish areas.”
