Families of ISIS Victims Call for Extradition of Jihadi John Accomplice Aine Davis to U.K.

Britain must work to extradite a suspected London-born accomplice of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) executioner Mohammed Emwazi, better known as Jihadi John, from Turkey, the families of two of the group’s British victims said on Monday.

An investigation by extradition of Davis to face trial in British courts was supported by Keith Vaz, chairman of the British Parliament’s home affairs select committee. He said: “Turkey is a key ally of the U.K. and their support in ensuring he is brought back as soon as possible is extremely important.”

Davis, suspected of being “George” in the Beatles cell, grew up in Hammersmith, is a former drug dealer and has been previously convicted for possession of a firearm. He attended the same mosque as Emwazi and a third suspected member of the cell, Alexe Kotey, in Ladbroke Grove, west London.
