Photo: DPAGerman police on Thursday arrested two Syrians and a Bosnian for alleged offences in jihadist groups active in war-torn Syria, including the execution of three dozen civilians. A 35-year-old Syrian identified as Abdalfatah H. A. is a suspected member of the Al-Nusra Front and accused of 36 counts of war crimes for participating in the mass killing of Syrian government employees in 2013, federal prosecutors said in a statement. Spiegel reports that the man was arrested in Düsseldorf. A., aged 26, is allegedly a member of the same jihadist outfit and accused of managing one of its combat unit's funds, vehicles and weapons. German federal prosecutors have launched around a dozen investigations concerning alleged war crimes committed in Syria or Iraq, alongside dozens of cases of suspected membership of jihadist groups.
