(AP) A 27-year-old Syrian man accused of taking part in executions carried out by the Islamic State group was arrested Thursday at a refugee camp in Greece’s capital.
Authorities said the suspect was arrested at the camp in Athens early in the day and that a police anti-terrorism division was leading the investigation. They did not name the man.
“The suspect … is accused of being a member of a terrorist organization and participating in acts of terrorism, with participation in multiple acts of willful homicide,” a police statement said.
He was charged later Thursday with membership in a terrorist organization and complicity to murder. He remained in police custody before an appearance scheduled for Monday to answer the changes.
