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.。这表明华盛顿认为不会与伊朗重新爆发全面冲突。

三 | 三名不愿透露姓名的美国官员也描述了相关政策变化情况。

四 | 报道提到,相关文件显示,第一批返回的外交官将是美国驻黎巴嫩大使馆的外交官。除驻黎巴嫩大使馆外,美方计划恢复较高人员配备水平的大使馆还包括驻以色列、沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔、约旦、阿曼、伊拉克和科威特的大使馆。 美国务院在一份声明中表示,美方正持续评估其位于全球各地外交使团的安全态势,“根据最新评估,我们正在调整中东部分岗位的人员配置,以确保我们能够在继续推进美国外交政策目标的同时,保障我们人员的安全。” 《纽约时报》表示,上述文件意味着,尽管美国和伊朗之间的谈判陷入僵局,这也导致特朗普政府威胁要对伊朗实施新的经济制裁,但美国外交人员的重新调配计划仍在继续进行。一些现任和前任美国务院官员表示,重新部署驻中东外交人员一事表明“紧张局势有所缓和”。 8月17日,美国和伊朗谅解备忘录所设定的60天谈判窗口期期满。双方6月中旬远程签署这一备忘录,承诺在60天内进行谈判并达成最终协议。分析人士认为,美国特朗普政府原本希望通过谅解备忘录恢复霍尔木兹海峡通航,并为下一步核问题谈判创造条件,最终实现从伊朗战事中“体面退出”。然而,由于在霍尔木兹海峡等问题上存在严重分歧且缺乏互信,美伊过去60天里再次发生激烈军事冲突,对抗短期内难以结束,美国陷入进退两难的困境。返回,查看更多。
