«Breaking News» Boris Johnson feared revenge attacks on UK if government aided death penalty of 'Beatles' terrorists

Boris Johnson feared extremist revenge attacks on the UK as well as 'reputational and policitcal risks' if two British terrorists nicknamed 'The Beatles' were handed the death penalty in the US.  

In a letter from June last year, Johnson - then Foreign Secretary - expressed the concerns while discussing whether the UK should aid the US in executing the men, whom were British citizens. 

Islamic State jihadists Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh were henchmen of Mohammed Emwazi – known as Jihadi John – who beheaded Western hostages on camera.

They were nicknamed The Beatles by their captives due to their British accents. 

The UK eventually agreed to waive usual death penalty assurances with the two men who were captured in Syria.    

According to The Daily Telegraph, Mr Johnson said in his private letter: 'Because of our stance on the death penalty there is a wider reputational and political risk that would arise from executions in these cases following UK assistance. 

'There is also a national security risk whereby there may be reprisals by extremists against British citizens at home and abroad, should the men be executed.'

He did however, end up in favour of waiving death penalty assurances because the case is 'unique and unprecedented' and in Britain's national security interests.' 

Sajid Javid yesterday won a legal battle over sharing evidence with the US on the two terror cell members.

In a landmark case, senior judges rejected claims that the Home Secretary acted unlawfully by not seeking guarantees over the fate of Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh if they stood trial in America.

In July it was revealed that Britain had made clear it was ready to share confidential information with no such promises.

Elsheikh’s mother, Maha Elgizouli, challenged the Government’s decision in the High Court. 

She argued that Mr Javid had secretly abandoned UK policy of passing on intelligence for prosecutions only in cases where there is no threat of capital punishment.

But Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett, sitting with Mr Justice Garnham, said Mr Javid had not broken the law. 

He was within his rights to share with the US 600 witness statements gathered by the Metropolitan Police.

Kotey, 35, and Elsheikh, 30, are being held in Syria and have been stripped of their British citizenship. 

They are accused of killing hostages, including British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning and US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

The Crown Prosecution Service decided there is 'insufficient evidence' to prosecute them in the UK.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
