The two Islamic State suspects previously admitted playing a role in the kidnap of U.S. aid worker Kayla Mueller, who was tortured and sexually assaulted before her death in 2015.
Two British Islamic State suspects accused of killing western hostages in Iraq and Syria will not face the death penalty or if it is imposed on them, it will not be carried out, the U.S. has told the U.K.
The pair were stripped of their British nationality and the U.S. had begun proceedings to extradite the two suspects and begin proceedings against them. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has now written to the U.K.'s Home Secretary Priti Patel assuring her that the death penalty would not be used. "These men are alleged to be members of the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham and to have been involved in kidnappings, murders, and other violent crimes against the citizens of our two countries, as well as the citizens of other countries.Met Police
