Sweden

Swedish prosecutors have requested the detention of a Swedish man on suspicion of terrorism and war crimes over the killing of a Jordanian air force pilot in Syria during 2014, The New Arab via Reuters reported on January 20th.

Named in Swedish court documents as Osama Krayem, the man has previously been convicted for being involved in attacks in Brussels during 2016 as well as attacks in Paris in 2015.

The Islamic State group, which once inflicted terror upon millions in Syria and Iraq, captured Jordanian pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh during December 2014, only to later publish a video of him being burned alive inside a cage.
