Alleged Islamic State 'Beatle' charged with terror offences after landing in UK

An alleged member of an Islamic State (IS) execution cell dubbed "the Beatles" has been arrested at Luton Airport and charged with terrorism offences after being deported late on Wednesday from Turkey.

Aine Davis was released from a maximum-security prison in Ankara where he had served a seven-and-a-half-year sentence for being an IS member. Middle East Eye first reported in late June that Davis was scheduled to be deported to the UK this summer.

Davis, who is originally from London, will appear in court on Thursday morning, Reuters reported.

"Mr Davis, 38, has been charged with terrorism offences and possession of a firearm for a purpose connected with terrorism," the Crown Prosecution Service said.
