Coming into work this morning listening to the radio I almost crashed my car as I heard that El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey, were granted interviews with the press and were complaining at the unfairness of their situation.
The men were among four British jihadis who made up the IS cell nicknamed “The Beatles” by surviving captives because of their English accents. The cell became known for its brutality, holding in captivity more than 20 Western hostages, and torturing and killing several, including American, British and Japanese journalists and aid workers, in 2014 and 2015,
However since their capture and the revoking of their British citizenship they are upset because the shoe is on the other foot.
Elsheikh traveled to Syria in 2012, initially joining al Qaeda’s branch before moving on to IS, according to the US State Department’s listing of the two men for terrorism sanctions. It said he “earned a reputation for waterboarding, mock executions and crucifixions while serving as an (IS) jailer.”
Kotey served as a guard for the execution cell and “likely engaged in the group’s executions and exceptionally cruel torture methods, including electronic shock and waterboarding,” the State Department said.
Now an extract from the interview.
“The revocation of citizenship exposes them to “rendition and torture,” Elsheikh said, “being taken to any foreign land and treated in any way and having nobody to vouch for you.”
“When you have these two guys who don’t even have any citizenship … if we just disappear one day, where is my mom going to go and say ‘Where is my son?’?,” he said.”
So watch this space cunters the libtard army has a new cause to defend,
