The judge called Elsheikh's actions 'horrific, barbaric, brutal and criminal' as he sentenced him to eight concurrent life sentences without parole
US deputy attorney general Lisa O Monaco said: “Today, the men and women of the Department of Justice and our criminal justice system delivered justice.
The Met’s Counter Terrorism Command provided crucial evidence to the US authorities which was used by prosecutors to bring Elsheikh’s case to court. “These were some of the most barbaric terrorist acts ever seen, carried out with chilling callousness and brutality.” Elsheikh is the highest-ranking fighter for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham to have faced a jury trial in the US, the country’s department of justice said.
