In 2018, the U.K. stripped the “Beatles” members of their British citizenship and concluded prosecution in the U.S. court system would be “the best approach for securing justice,” according to Barr. Barr said the U.S. had still not received the evidence needed to move forward with prosecution and prodded the U.K. to provide it. “Time is of the essence” if the IS members are to be tried in the U.S., according to Barr. “The Beatles” are suspected of beheadinb James Foley, the first American citizen killed by ISIS, Steven Sotloff and Peter Kassig. The videos of their beheadings horrified the world as ISIS took over much of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
