German prosecutors say they've arrested a 29-year-old Syrian man on allegations he committed war crimes as a member of Daesh (ISIS) in his home country.
The federal prosecutor's office said Wednesday that Fares A. B., whose last name wasn't released in line with privacy laws, is also accused of membership in a terrorist organization.
Prosecutors allege that he joined the Nusra Front extremist organization (now calling itself Jabhat Fatah al-Sham) in 2013, and then moved to Daesh in 2014.
There, he was detailed to a jail and allegedly abused three prisoners. He's also accused of beating a pickup truck driver with his assault rifle at a traffic control point, and executing a Daesh prisoner in 2014.
He was arrested in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg July 31 and brought before a judge Tuesday.
