One of the members of the Islamic State cell dubbed the Beatles is suspected of helping to organise a plot from Raqqa in Syria to shoot soldiers, police officers and civilians in London from the back of a moped. Kotey’s alleged role in the London plot was revealed by ITV News on Friday and independently confirmed by the Guardian. Details of the plot to kill British police and soldiers in drive-by shootings from a moped were set out at the Old Bailey two years ago. According to ITV, detectives working on the investigation have gathered enormous amounts of data, including commands sent by Isis fighters in Syria. Kotey, who has had his passport revoked, could eventually end up being tried either in the US or the UK.
