Ex-hostage wants British IS kidnappers put on trial in UK
LONDON (AP) — Former Islamic State hostages and families of the group's victims are urging Britain and the United States to put two recently captured extremists on trial, arguing that denying them justice will fuel the hatred and violence they supported.
French journalist Nicolas Henin, who was held by the men and their comrades for 10 months, said he wants justice following the arrest of the two Britons, who were part of the notorious cell dubbed "The Beatles." Henin said the men should be tried in the U.K., not shipped to Guantanamo Bay, because revenge will just breed more violence.
"What I'm looking for is justice and Guantanamo is a denial of justice," he told The Associated Press on Friday.
