(AFP) Osama Krayem, on trial for the murder of a Jordanian pilot burned alive in Syria by the Islamic State (IS) group, on Wednesday refused to answer questions from the prosecution.
The brutal killing took place sometime in late 2014 or early 2015 and sparked outrage internationally and in Jordan, which was participating in the US-led coalition’s strikes against IS positions in Syria.
Krayem, a 32-year-old Swede already serving long prison sentences for his role in the Paris and Brussels attacks in 2015 and 2016, is on trial in Stockholm suspected of war crimes and terrorist crimes for his role in the pilot’s killing.
On December 24, 2014, an aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force crashed in Syria.
