ISIS ‘Beatles’ prepare a final tour of Florence

Published



The two remaining members of the so-called ISIS “Beatles” cell are preparing for a one-stop tour of Florence.

Unfortunately for Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, they won’t be visiting the Fountain of Neptune or strolling through the Piazza della Signoria. Instead, they’ll likely be spending the remainder of their lives in small individual cells blessed with 4-inch windows. After all, they’re not going to Florence, Italy — they’re almost certainly going to the only federal “supermax” prison, the one in Florence, Colorado. There, they’ll quickly long for yesterday.
