A gruesome video released online Tuesday showing the beheading of US journalist James Foley by a man who appears to be a British national has sparked international outrage and is fueling fears about the increasing numbers of foreign fighters joining the ranks of the Islamic State.
The Guardian newspaper quoted an unidentified former prisoner held in Syria who said that the executioner goes by the name “John” and is an educated and devout radical Islamist who is one of three UK-born IS militants known as “the Beatles.”
According to the report, the executioner was from London, and was one of 500 British nationals who had traveled to Syria to fight against the regime of Bashar Assad and had been “brutalized” by Islamic State terrorists.

The American tabliban traitor went by John Lennon Lindh at one point in his life before assuming the names of John Walker and Doo Doo.

They were a quartet until they beheaded Ringo.

Maybe the ISIS group was only referring to those Beatles with musical talent.

“one of 500 British nationals who had traveled to Syria to fight against the regime of Bashar Assad and had been “brutalized” by Islamic State terrorists.”
So the guy who did the beheading and 499 other brits who went to Syria were brutalized by Islamic State terrorists?
