US charges British ISIS militants
Alexanda Amon Kotey (left) and El Shafee Elsheikh, both from Britain, joined ISIS and were part of a cell that beheaded Western hostages, a law enforcement official alleged, March 30, 2018.
In the first case of its kind, two ISIS militants, formally British citizens, have been charged in a US court for their involvement in the beheading of American and British journalists and aid workers in Syria. And, a court in Greece has ruled that the far-right Golden Dawn party was operating as a criminal organization, delivering landmark guilty verdicts. Also, the EU Parliament has agreed to set a target of cutting carbon emissions 60% by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal but still needs approval by the 27 EU member nations.
