A former Islamic State (IS) member linked to the kidnapping and execution of several Americans is expected to change his plea to “guilty” in a federal courtroom on Thursday.
Court records show a “change of plea hearing” for Alexanda Kotey is scheduled at the Eastern District of Virginia federal courthouse in Alexandria on Thursday evening. Kotey, who was stripped of his British citizenship, has previously pleaded not guilty to hostage-taking and terrorism-related charges filed by the Justice Department last year.
