A British man pleads guilty to Islamic State-related terrorism charges_我的网站

一 |     LONDON -- A British Muslim convert who was convicted in Turkey of being part of the Islamic State group pleaded guilty at a U.K. court Monday to having a firearm for terrorism purposes and two charges of funding terrorism.Aine Davis, 39, was deported to the U.K. in August 2022 after serving time in prison in Turkey. He was charged and detained by British counterterrorism police upon arriving at London's Luton Airport.Davis on Monday pleaded guilty by video link from a southeast London prison to possessing a firearm for terrorism purposes and funding terrorism between 2013 and 2014.British authorities had long suspected that Davis was part of an Islamic State group cell known as “The Beatles” — so called because of the men's British accents — that tortured and killed Western hostages in Syria a decade ago, when IS controlled a large swath of Syria and Iraq. Davis denies being connected to the cell. Two members of the “Beatles” cell, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, were captured by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in 2018 and are serving life sentences in the U.S. A third, Mohammed Emwazi, who carried out executions of captives and was nicknamed “Jihadi John,” was killed in a drone strike in 2015.Defense lawyer Mark Summers alleged that Britain's government had tried in vain to get Davis extradited for prosecution there. Summers said the plan was abandoned after prosecutors in Virginia clarified last year that they were not seeking to put Davis on trial as a member of the “Beatles” cell.Davis travelled from London to Syria in 2013, and was arrested in Istanbul in 2015 after being found using a forged travel document. His offenses were largely uncovered from his communications with Amal El-Wahabi, his wife at the time, who did not travel with him to Syria. Prosecutors said he enlisted her to persuade a friend to bring him 20,000 euros to support his terrorist cause in Syria. The friend was stopped at Heathrow Airport in 2014, and El-Wahabi was later convicted of funding terrorism. Police found photos on El-Wahabi's phone showing Davis posing with men holding guns and rifles. Davis will be sentenced on Nov. 13.。

    　　前 NBA 球员 JR-史密斯在节目中分享了一段极具戏剧性的旧闻，讲述自己刚踏入联盟打夏季联赛时，和丹尼斯-罗德曼有关的趣事。
    
    　　JR 表示，04-05 赛季自己还是一名新秀，当时球队名单原本包含罗德曼，两人本该一同出战夏季联赛。那年他刚高中毕业，年纪尚轻，全程只亲眼见到罗德曼一回。
    
    　　夏季联赛会给球员发放一次性单日补贴，金额为 1600 美元。JR 回忆，第一天全队登上球队大巴领取装着现金的信封，他亲眼看着罗德曼拿到补贴信封、下车离开，从那之后，自己再也没有见到过罗德曼，对方直接缺席了后续所有夏联赛程。

    　　JR 还提到，当时自己年少，手里攥着这份 1600 美元补贴都觉得分量不轻，对比罗德曼拿完钱就彻底消失的操作，至今印象深刻。
