German prosecutors have charged two Syrian men with “war crimes” they are accused of having committed some 10 years in the Syrian capital Damascus, as part of the so-called Islamic State militant group.
In line with German privacy rules, the Federal Prosecutors Office on Friday identified the two men as Mohammad A. and Asmael K. in a statement on its website. Authorities said both suspects were charged with being members of a foreign terror organization and of “hostage-taking resulting in death.”
