Foley Abduction Linked to British Jihadi Kidnapping Ring -- Eli Lake & Josh Rogin, Daily Beast

Weeks before Foley’s abduction in 2012, alleged members of a jihadi kidnapping network tied to ISIS were arrested and held in London for kidnapping Western journalists, only to later be released by Britain’s legal system.
