CNN: One of the ISIS 'Beatles' says he's sorry. Will confessions save these fighters from death row?

(CNN) Two of the remaining members of the British ISIS cell known as "the Beatles" have confessed their part in the ransoming of Western hostages in a rare interview that showed them broken and pleading for news of their fate. One of the fighters also offered an unprecedented apology for his actions with the group.

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh have been held in northern Syria by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for more than a year, and they recently consented to speak to CNN through a cameraman in their jail and a correspondent by remote video link from London.

Their comments come amid a raft of activity by foreign governments and the SDF to resolve the destination of hundreds of Western ISIS fighters held in overcrowded Syrian prisons, including the transfer of a dozen French fighters to Iraq where they were sentenced to death in May.

WNU Editor: These people committed war crimes that scream for justice. Their crimes were committed in the Middle East, and that is where they should face punishment.

They would be playing a different tune if that crowd hadn't been hit so hard. Well, maybe you should sue your recruiter?

What losers despite the educations that more than a few acquired, from what I've read.

They should be executed in the worst way possible with the event being televised around the world as a deterrent to others who no doubt follow in their footsteps at the first opportunity. There was an article long ago about a suicide bomber who was caught before he could detonate. Apparently he had a steel cup protecting his "package" so it would be preserved for when he got his allocation of virgins in paradise. No kidding they can be that stupid. So do the necessary on TV before the execution.

Here is an interesting article on the allocation of virgins and there is no question in my mind that young ignorant males can be really indoctrinated to die for the "cause".

Forgive them now, they will rise again later.
