US trial of Isis ‘Beatles’ likely after UK supreme court ruling clears way
Court says Britain must supply intelligence on Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh after US drops death penalty
A US trial of two members of Islamic State accused of taking part in the beheading of hostages appears likely to go ahead, following a legal ruling that allows the UK to share evidence with US prosecutors.
Britain’s supreme court said on Wednesday that a stay preventing the Home Office from supplying intelligence relating to Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh must be lifted after the US said it would drop death penalty charges against them.
