Brit: We reject ISIS traitors

Britain’s defense secretary says two captured Islamic State group extremists who grew up in England should never be allowed to return.

Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson’s comments Saturday in the Sun newspaper come amid reports that Britain has already stripped El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey of their citizenship, opening the door for them to be sent to the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or another prison outside of the UK.

“I don’t think they should ever set foot in this country again,” Williamson told the Sun. “They turned their back on Britain, our values and every- thing we stand for. They are the worst of the worst.”

Elsheikh and Kotey are alleged to have been part of a four-man ISIS cell dubbed “The Beatles” because of their British accents. The most notorious member of the group is Mohammed Emwazi, the masked insurgent known as Jihadi John (pictured), who appeared in several videos that showed the beheading of Western hostages.

Tobias Ellwood, a defense minister whose brother was killed in a 2002 terrorist attack in Bali, called for the men to be tried by an international war-crimes court.

“Guantanamo Bay created a new combatant status that bypassed the Geneva Convention, used torture and failed to address a wider global jihadist insurgency that continues today,” he told the Times of London.

Britain’s Home Office refused to confirm whether Elsheikh and Kotey had been stripped of their citizenship.

The American-backed Syrian Democratic Forces captured the two men last month.
