Two British terrorists believed to be part of a Daesh group that beheaded hostages and was known as “The Beatles” have been moved out of a detention center in Syria. The two men have been identified as El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey.
The two men alongside other British terrorists allegedly made up the Daesh cell nicknamed “The Beatles” by surviving captives because of their English accents. In 2014 and 2015, the Beatles held more than 20 Western hostages in Syria and tortured many of them. It beheaded seven American, British and Japanese journalists, and aid workers and a group of Syrian soldiers, boasting of the butchery in videos released to the world.
The two were transferred from Syria to avoid any potential mishap that would jeopardize or facilitate their escape in the ongoing okayed operation by Turkey. The two British men were captured in January in eastern Syria by the YPG amid the collapse of Daesh.
Turkey is carrying out an operation against the terrorist PKK-linked People’s Protection Units (YPG)-dominated Syrian Defense Forces (SDF), which is now responsible for guarding thousands of detained militants.
