Emotions ran high as the family of an aid worker killed by IS cell testify at a federal US trial.

Parents of a US humanitarian worker killed by the Islamic State begged for her life in emails to her captors, a court has heard.

The Sudanese-born Londoner, who was stripped of his British citizenship in 2018, is accused of taking hostages, resulting in the deaths of four Americans - Ms Mueller, journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid worker Peter Kassig. But prosecutors played back past media interviews with Mr Elsheikh that contradict the claim he was not involved in the hostage taking scheme.
