Trump bringing two ISIS figures involved in beheadings to US for prosecution
Two men were part of deadly ISIS cell nicknamed ‘the Beatles.’

President Trump has secured the extradition of two members of a notorious ISIS cell nicknamed “The Beatles†that was blamed for the beheadings and killings of several Western hostages, including the former American aid worker Kayla Mueller, officials told Just the News.
The Justice Department is expected to announce at an 11 a.m. News conference that Alexanda Kotex and El Shafee Elsheikh have been brought to the United States for prosecution, officials said.
The two men have been held in a U.S. military installation in Iraq since their capture, and their extradition is considered a major win in the war on terrorism, especially for the families of the victims.
Mueller’s parents are expected to join Vice President Mike Pence at Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate, officials said.
The two men are accused of being part of a four member ISIS cell that kidnapped international hostages in Syria, including Mueller and fellow U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig and U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
A third member of their cell was killed by a U.S. missile earlier this year, while the fourth member has been sentenced to prison in Turkey.

FYI His name is: Alexanda Amon Kotey.

I am as big as anyone else wanting to bomb ISIS back into the 19th century, and celebrate their demise.
OTOH, what does this really accomplish besides provoking radicals already in this country, and unnecessary political theatre?

2 ISIS 'Beatles' indicted in US on charges linked to beheadings of American hostages
The captors were given the nickname because of their British accents
By Stephanie Pagones | Fox News
Two British Islamic State terror suspects known as the “Beatles†were indicted in the torturing and beheading of American aid workers and journalists among others once held hostage in Syria, according to court documents made public Wednesday.
El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are two of four men dubbed “the Beatles†by the hostages they held captive, because of their British accents. They previously had been in military custody in Iraq and are expected to make their first appearance in the afternoon in federal court in Alexandria, Va.

But Osama bin Obama and his minions remains free to continue their coup.

Few things affect me the way these animals do.

In cases such as this I wish we still had public execution's. Neck stretching's in the public square....Firing squads.
-
More idiocy. These animals should face a military trial in the field, and once found guilty, taken out at sunrise the next day and shot. No, now they come here to inspire muslims to destroy America. That makes a hell of a lot of sense. Ugggh!!!!

They will hate us more now! /s

Could their heads and torsos be shipped in separate containers?

The Brits wouldn't extradite them unless we promised not to impose the death penalty. If convicted it Supermax for the rest of their natural lives - 23 hours a day in solitary and 1 hour in isolated exercise if they behave. Not sure which is worse.

Perhaps the whole idea is indeed to provoke. They need to be taken down. Let them expose themselves.
