LONDON — The mother of slain hostage James Foley said Friday that she wants two British men who were part of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) cell that killed her son to be tried and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Diane Foley welcomed the capture of the men who were part of a group, all of whom had lived in London, known as “The Beatles” because of their British accents.
Foley told the BBC on Friday that the arrests announced Thursday won’t bring her son back, but “hopefully it protects others from this kind of crime.”
She said “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.”
James Foley was killed on Aug. 19, 2014, after being held hostage for several months.
U.S. officials confirmed this week that the American-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had captured the two notorious members of the ISIS insurgent cell commonly dubbed “The Beatles,” which was known for beheading hostages.
