Two of the ISIS 'Beatles' have finally admitted their involvement in holding American aid worker Kayla Mueller hostage in Syria, where she was sexually abused and tortured before her death in 2015. 'I took an email from her myself,' he admitted, meaning he got an email address ISIS could use to demand ransom from the family. During her captivity, she was raped by the former ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, U.S. officials have said. Kotey and Elsheikh are two of the four so-called ISIS 'Beatles', a sadistic hostage-taking execution squad responsible for beheading numerous Western captives, including Americans James Foley, Steven Sotloff and Peter Kassig. Her body was never found, leaving a sliver of hope for her parents that she might still be alive.
