A | LONDON -- A British Muslim convert who was convicted in Turkey of being part of the Islamic State group pleaded guilty at a U.K. court Monday to having a firearm for terrorism purposes and two charges of funding terrorism.Aine Davis, 39, was deported to the U.K. in August 2022 after serving time in prison in Turkey. 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.。 中新网8月26日电 8月26日，国务院台办举行例行新闻发布会。有记者问：近日，福建厦门发布促进对台交流合作新举措，其中包括推进厦金大桥(厦门段)建设，争取今年底海上主线通车；并同步推进厦金大桥(金门段)方案研究。台陆委会称，金厦通桥议题涉及两岸公权力事项，非陆方可片面决定，台湾没有推动两岸通桥的政策及规划。请问对此有何评论？ 国台办发言人张晗表示，建设厦金大桥是厦金两地民众的共同呼声和迫切心愿。2023年发布的《中共中央 国务院关于支持福建探索海峡两岸融合发展新路建设两岸融合发展示范区的意见》明确提出，要“探索厦金合作共建基础设施模式，加快推进与金门通电、通气、通桥”。其中，厦金大桥(厦门段)工程于2023年10月动工，目前正在有序推进。厦金大桥全线通车后，将为两地民众往来带来便利，为金门经济发展、民生改善增添动力，厦金两地将成为更紧密的“同城生活圈”。
B | 大桥建成后，可通过桥体管道实现向金门输送水、电、燃气，改善金门发展环境，还将与海上“小三通”通航等形成互补，增加厦金通行通道。民进党当局应正视金门乡亲的利益诉求，停止政治算计，真正为民谋利，支持厦金大桥早日建成通车。(中新网“燕新台”工作室) 【编辑:李岩】。
