Two British militants alleged to be part of the ISIS torture and execution squad known as “The Beatles” will face trial in the United States in January next year, a judge has ordered.
El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey were captured in Syria in 2018, and were part of a diplomatic tug-of-war between the UK and the US, having been implicated in the killings of both British and American citizens.
