5. Alexanda Kotey
This member of the self-proclaimed Islamic state has been linked to the infamous group known as the “Beatles,” comprised of Kotey, Jihadi John (Mohammed Emwazi), and Aine Davis. Kotey is a 32-year-old British national who grew up in West London and converted to Islam. He facilitated the detention and beheading of numerous hostages in Syria, including the execution of British aid workers, David Haines and Alan Henning.
He claims to be from Ghanaian and Greek-Cypriot descent, and befriended ISIS members, Jihadi John and Aine Davis, while attending the same mosque in London. He is most recognized for his involvement in beheading prominent US journalists, Steven Sotloff and James Foley. Not only is he responsible for personal acts of slaughter against American and other western hostages, but he is widely recognized by experts to be a key ISIS recruiter of other London-based ISIS extremists.
