British citizen accused of terrorism in Turkey

Allegations of Islamic State (IS) terrorism are being made against a British citizen in a hearing near Istanbul. The main suspect in the alleged plot is a former Tube driver Aine Davis, a 32-year old from west London, who has been accused of becoming a senior IS commander. ITV News has reported that it has unearthed and translated court files which suggested Davis was ‘considered to be in charge of IS’. The news comes as further details have emerged suggesting Davis was part of gang of IS prison guards, that included Mohammed Emwazi - otherwise known as ‘Jihadi John’. Davis has previously come to the attention of authorities in 2014 when his wife Amel El-Wahabi became the first person in Britain to be convicted of funding jihadis in Syria. El-Wahabi was jailed for hoodwinking an old school-friend into agreeing to take €20,000 to Turkey for her husband.
