Swedish Prosecution charges terrorist involved in martyr al-Kasasbeh burning
Swedish Prosecution Authority on Tuesday 27 May, plan to indict a 32-year-old man for serious war crimes and terrorist crimes in Syria. The offence was allegedly committed during the period of 24 December 2014–3 February 2015.
According to press release by the Swedish Prosecution Authority, the case dates back to the downing of a Royal Syrian Air Force fighter jet piloted by martyred pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh in Syria. The pilot was captured by ISIS on the same day near Raqqa.
The 32-year-old man, a Swedish citizen, is suspected of having executed the pilot, together with other perpetrators belonging to IS. The investigation has shown that the man, armed and masked, together with others forced the pilot into a metal cage. The cage was subsequently set on fire by one of the co-perpetrators, and the pilot martyred as a consequence of the fire.
The man has been convicted of terrorist crimes in Belgium and France and has been temporarily handed over to Sweden to participate in the trial, which is scheduled to start on 4 June.
