US outlets name 2nd British member of Islamic State

A joint investigation by The Washington Post and Buzzfeed leads to the identification of a second British Islamic State member involved in beheading Western hostages in Syria.

The Brit is named as 32-year-old Alexanda Kotey, a convert to Islam from West London. According to the Post, Kotey’s identity was confirmed by an American official and others familiar with British nationals in Syria.

Both Kotey’s family in London and British security officials decline to comment on the report, the Post says.
