Alexanda Kotey, a member of the Islamic State (ISIS) terror cell nicknamed “The Beatles”, was sentenced to life in prison on Friday by a US District Judge, the BBC reported.
Kotey pleaded guilty in September to taking part in a hostage scheme that led to the deaths of Americans, Japanese and British citizens in Syria. As part of his plea, Kotey will be transferred to the UK where members of his family live to serve the rest of his term after serving 15 years in the US.
