UK: According to reports, a British man was detained on his way back to Britain on Wednesday. He is reportedly a member of the "Beatles", an ISIS kidnapping and murder cell.

According to UK media, 38-year-old Ann Davis was detained upon arrival at Luton airport after a flight from Turkey, where she was serving a seven-and-a-half year prison sentence for terrorism offences.

He was reportedly part of an ISIS cell that held dozens of foreign hostages in Syria between 2012 and 2015 under "Beatles" because of their British accent.

A man has been detained by Luton Airport authorities, which oversees the UK's counter-terrorism investigation, according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police.

However, London Police, which does not identify suspects before being accused of a crime, did not identify the person in custody.

According to the statement, the 38-year-old was detained this evening after flying from Turkey to the UK.

The Met said he was taken into custody "where he is currently in police custody" at a police station in south London, after being detained under several different sections of British anti-terrorism laws.

According to a statement from the Interior Ministry, a British national was deported to the UK from Turkey.

While the police investigation continues, further comment would be inappropriate, it continued.

At least 27 journalists and aid workers from the United States, Great Britain, Europe, New Zealand, Russia and Japan are reportedly being abducted by four "Beatles" members.

American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff as well as aid workers Peter Kasig and Kayla Mueller were all allegedly killed by them.

Four accused criminals allegedly beheaded four American victims after releasing videos of the killings to promote ISIS.

38-year-old former British national Aleksanda Cote, who was extradited from the UK to the US in 2020 to face charges there, admitted her involvement in the deaths last September and was sentenced to life in prison in April.

Another former British national who was extradited to the US at the same time, 34-year-old Al Shafi Elsheikh, will be sentenced next week after pleading guilty to all charges in April.

In 2015, a US drone killed Mohamed Emwazi, the other "Beatles" assassin in Syria.

A Kurdish militia in Syria captured Elsheikh and Kote in January 2018 and were later handed over to US forces in Iraq before being sent to Britain.

After being taken to Virginia in 2020, he was eventually charged with hostage-taking, plotting to kill American citizens, and aiding a foreign terrorist organization.

According to reports, Davis was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison in Turkey for his involvement in the terrorist organization.

His wife Amal al-Wahabi was the first person in Britain to be convicted of funding ISIS jihadists after attempting to send 20,000 euros to Syria in 2014, the equivalent of $25,000 at the time.

After a trial in which Davis was described as a drug dealer before going to Syria to fight ISIS, he was sentenced to 28 months in prison and seven days.
