(AP) German police have detained a Syrian man accused of war crimes for firing a rocket-propelled grenade into a group of civilians in Damascus in 2014, officials said Wednesday.
The suspect, identified only as Mouafak Al D. in line with German privacy laws, was detained in Berlin on Wednesday.
German federal prosecutors said he is suspected of firing an RPG at a group of people lining up for food aid in the Yarmouk district of Damascus, home to a large population of Palestinian refugees.
At least seven people were killed in the attack and three were injured, including a 6-year-old child.
