(Deutsche Welle) A 33-year-old Syrian man was charged in the western Germany city of Koblenz on Friday with committing war crimes.
Authorities say they … have concrete evidence that the man fought with the “Islamic State” (IS) terror group for two years, according to a press release put out by prosecutors.
“The accused is suspected of joining armed resistance against the Syrian government in 2012 in the southern city of Dara’a. There is significant suspicion that the accused, at some point between 2012 and September 2014, posed for a picture with the severed head of what is presumably an opposing fighter, mocking the victim even after death and degrading his remains,” the prosecutors wrote.
