LONDON: A Zimbabwean-origin terrorist who fled from Manchester to Syria has emerged as a key member of an Islamic State (ISIS) terror cell referred to as the 'Beatles' because of their British accents.
Raymond Matimba is believed to have left Britain in 2014 to link up with ISIS terrorists in the Middle East.
According to 'The Daily Telegraph', he went on to join the group of high-profile British terrorists that included Mohammed Emwazi, who was dubbed Jihadi John and seen on beheading videos.
The newspaper also reports that Matimba had links to suicide bomber Salman Abedi, who is linked to the terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester earlier this year which claimed 23 lives. The 28-year-old adopted the name Abu Qaqa al-Britani al- Afro as he became a leading sniper for ISIS in Raqqa.
