According to The Telegraph, U.K. authorities have zeroed in on three British jihadists as possible suspects. Razul Islam, Aine Davis and Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary. All three are believed to have converted to Islam and gone to Syria to wage jihad, fight for ISIS (ISIL). They are part of a British cell of terrorists known as "The Beatles."
