Second Member Of ISIS Beatles Is Briton Alexanda Kotey
Two of the remaining three members of ISIS terrorist quartet known as Beatles have reportedly been identified as British individuals who visited the same West London mosque as Jihadi John.
According to The New York Times, 32-year-old Alexanda Kotey, is one of them. Half-Ghanaian, half-Cypriot. Kotey is a convert to Islam and father of two who separated from his partner. He reportedly left Britain in 2009 and travel to Gaza strip with an aid convoy.
While it is not clear where Kotey met the executioner Jihadi John, identified last year as Briton Mohammed Emwazi, it was learnt that Kotey and John attended the Manaar Mosque in West London. Kotey with Emwazi and two others were nicknamed The Beatles by their captives. The group was involved in the gruesome beheadings of Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff besides two Britons captives.
Fox News reports that Kotey could be the terrorist nicknamed 'Ringo' as his profile matches that of the terrorist who had reportedly posted online saying he was raised in Shepherd's Bush, which is a London neighborhood. Kotey's family has expressed distress about reports of unmasking saying they had not heard from him in years.
It was also reported by Fox that the third member of the 'Beatles' was Londoner Aine Lesley Davis who may also have attended Manaar Mosque. Davis was picked up in Turkey last year before the deadly serial blasts.
