A British man suspected of being part of an Islamic State group that beheaded hostages has been convicted of a terrorism offence in Turkey.
Aine Davis, 33, of London, had been arrested in 2015 near Istanbul.
He was found guilty of being a senior member of a terrorist organisation and jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
The BBC understands Davis was one of a four-man IS cell nicknamed "The Beatles", which included the person dubbed Jihadi John.
Davis, the only one of the group to face a trial, had denied the charges against him.
