(ITV) A London-born “hostage-keeper” has for the first time admitted the role he played in the so-called Islamic State.
Alexanda Kotey, who has been detained by Kurdish forces for the past 16 months, has now given a public confession about his part in a plot to kill soldiers and police in drive-by shootings at Shepherd’s Bush police station and the Parachute Regiment Territorial Army Barracks at White City in London.
The plot was foiled in 2016 and two British terrorists — Tarik Hassane and Suhaib Majeed — were handed life sentences but ITV News learned Kotey — at the time in Syria — was suspected to be involved.
Now, for the first time, Kotey has admitted helping to organise the plot and direct funds toward the UK terrorists.
