The hostages freed by ISIS reported that the English guarding Westerners abducted in Syria have always been four: they were called "The Beatles". The most famous among them was "John the Jihadist", killed last November. The identity of the second component of the "gang" was revealed a few hours ago. This is Alexanda Kotey, 32 years, raised in London. British jailers were infamous among former prisoners for their torture. "The Beatles", according to testimonies, are said to particularly love "treating prisoners with electric shocks". Kotey, of Ghanaian origin, converted to Islam at the age of twenty, after falling in love with a Muslim woman. The couple also had two children before they separated. However, information on Kotey remains scarce, as does the meeting with the Londoner Mohammed Emwazi. The only thing certain is that both attended the same Notting Hill mosque in London. Kotey is also known to have been part of a convoy of humanitarian aid in Gaza, organized in the 2009, by controversial British politician George Galloway. Nine volunteers from the convoy, 24 before departure, were arrested for alleged terrorist offenses. They will all be released due to insufficient evidence.

The British secret services have also identified a third component of the "gang": Aine Lesley Davis, from London. Davis was arrested by Turkish police last November, before a series of coordinated attacks by the Islamic state that killed 130 people. Davis, like Emwazi and Kotey, also attended the Notting Hill mosque.

THE STORY OF JOHN

The executioner of the Islamic State, the bloodthirsty psychopath responsible for having beheaded several foreign hostages, was terminated at 23: 41 on Thursday, 12 November, near the Islamic court of the city of Raqqa, capital of the Islamic State, by three drones during an armed surveillance mission. The man was on board a vehicle with three other people. The raid was authorized by the Pentagon after identifying the target as "very high priority" and assessed minimum collateral risks. In the area, according to what leaked from the besieged city, at least fourteen explosions have been heard. Sensing the possibility of hitting one of the most sought-after men on the planet, the US and Britain have sent three Reaper MQ-9 to the area, each of which is armed with 12 hellfire missiles. American drones have taken off from the Incirlik air base. Mohammed Emwazi's vehicle was hit by two anti-tank missiles. The four inside the vehicle (not armored), including the executioner, had no chance. The missiles were launched by a US Reaper, commanded remotely by Creech Air Force Base, Nevada. Ours was an act of defense, we dealt a mortal blow to the heart of the Islamic State - commented British Prime Minister David Cameron - it was the right thing to do.

The elimination of a high-profile figure like Emwazi has demonstrated the effectiveness of the combined US surveillance system, which remains the most powerful on the planet. The death of Emwazi, however, does not represent a tactical victory for the United States and the United Kingdom, but psychological. He was a recruiter, certainly not a tactician. Mohammed Emwazi was born the 17 August of 1988 in Kuwait. He moved to the west of London in the 1994 where he grew up with a brother and two sisters. Of a wealthy family (of Iraqi origins), he attended first the "St Mary Magdalene Church of England" and later the Quintin Kynaston School before graduating from the University of Westminster in the 2009, with a thesis in computer programming. Mohammed Emwazi would have reached Syria in the 2013 for field indoctrination. A few months later he would become the executioner, the protagonist of those videos that have caused so much indignation in the West. His first appearance dates back to the August of 2013, when he beheaded the American journalist James Foley. According to the computerized analysis carried out on the other videos (vocal timbre, movements, cadence, pulse, height, fingerprints, physiological mapping, skin color and indicative weight), Emwazi would then execute the American journalist Steven Sotloff, the British humanitarian operator David Haines, British taxi driver Alan Henning and US humanitarian worker Peter Kassig. In each video, the man appeared dressed in a suit and with a black balaclava that covered him completely. Not his eyes, as well as the top of his nose. Since the first video, the executioner has revealed some clues. His marked British accent, in the videos in which he taunted the Western powers before slaughtering the hostages, was the first piece of the mosaic.

OBSESSED BY THE SOMALIA AND THE AL-SHABAB MILITANT GROUP

The hostages released by ISIS reported that there were four Englishmen guarding the Westerners abducted in Syria and they were called "The Beatles". There were Paul, Ringo and George. The executioner was John Lennon. Emwazi, tell how many saw him in action, was given an explanation to the other militants about the "procedure for correct beheading. He was the tallest, the calmest but also the most determined, without the slightest scruple. He was the 'tutor' of neo-terrorists ". Emwazi was first arrested in 2009, Tanzania, where he would go on a safari after graduation with two friends (a German converted to Islam named Omar and another man, Abu Talib). In fact, the English authorities already suspected his affiliation with terrorist groups active in Somalia. Landed at the airport of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in August of 2009, they were arrested by the police and held overnight before being expelled. On September 2 of the 2009, Emwazi moves to Kuwait, her hometown, where she starts working for a computer company. Return to London, for eight days, in June of the 2010 for a few days of vacation. He will return a second and last time in July of the same year. He manages to flee to Syria, under the name of Mohammed al-Ayan.

"DEAD MAN WALKING"

Jihadi John, was known among the western special departments as "Dead Man Walking". On him, hung the death sentence of the United States, Great Britain and Russia. The last to speak publicly of the "Boia", in order of time, was the British Prime Minister David Cameron from Manchester, at the annual "Tory party conference", the 5 last October. Cameron said: "I want John dead. I promised it and I repeat it. That is why I intend to double our SAS presence in Iraq in order to eliminate this threat forever. " The British Government, a few months ago, ordered the SAS to form a killer team with a single purpose: to bring the head of John the executioner to London. The team, known as "The Sixties" had received "specific training with latest-generation equipment" at the Hereford base. The team operated completely independently of the other SAS teams deployed in the secret desert base of Iraq, operated by MI6 and deemed inaccessible. The "Sixties" were not the only ones looking for "John". The entire American Tier-1 component had received the order to eliminate the threat at all costs, as well as the entire 'Task Force Black'. Putin himself, the 21 last October, issued an internal directive for specnaz: bringing John's head to Moscow. The last appearance of the executioner dates back to the 26 last August when, boldly, he announced other beheadings, turning towards the camera in what was considered the first video with an open face by Jihadi John. Video probably shot near the city of Deir Ezzor, in the south-east of Syria. Although the sound quality was poor, John clearly said he would cut off more heads. "I am Mohammed Emwazi. Soon I will return to Britain with the Khalifa (the head of the Islamic State)." At that video Cameron replied: "He will return home, but only as a corpse." Last 30 October, the Pentagon confirmed the 'elimination of another high priority target, the "ISIS rapper", the 39 enne Denis Cuspert, better known by his stage name Deso Dogg. Cuspert was eliminated during a US raid, the 17 last October.

A JUDGMENT OF DEATH THAT WOULD NEVER EXPIRED

It was only a matter of time and the reasons are simple. First of all because all the secret services of the world knew his face. His picture was now in the public domain for months. That boy wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates cap was no longer so afraid with his civilian clothes. In short, he had lost the surprise effect of that boy, of whom everything was now known. He was one of the most sought-after men in the Middle East, and the sworn revenge of at least four nations with assault groups specifically sent to the region to end it hung on him. Mohammed Emwazi could not get caught alive because he was an important source of information. According to some reports, militants of the Islamic State had already placed him on the margins of the organization. But the fact that John had become a problem, for himself and his other terrorist friends, was clear. Every jihadist on the phone with Emwazi knew he was the target of a drone and in this sense all Hunter Killer missions had already been authorized by the Pentagon. Because if it is true that terrorists can hide in congenial grounds, they can do nothing against the US satellite network.

Here then is the decision of Isis to remove a man on whom a sentence of death was pending which would never have expired.
