An alleged member of an Islamic State group hostage-taking cell nicknamed "The Beatles" was charged with terrorism offences in Britain on Thursday after being deported from Turkey. The militants dubbed "The Beatles" by their hostages because of their British accents, held about two dozen westerners a decade ago, when IS controlled a large swath of Syria and Iraq.
