German authorities arrested four Syrian brothers on terrorism charges for allegedly fighting for an extremist group in their homeland five years ago. They are accused of membership in a terrorist organization for fighting for the Nusra Front in the northern Syrian city Ras al-Ayn starting in late 2012.
Two of which are also charged with war crimes for allegedly forcing civilians from the city and plundering their possessions.
In a separate case, prosecutors said that a 31-year-old Syrian arrested in February has been released. He was accused of membership in a terror group and of committing a war crime by raping a woman as she tried to flee IS-controlled territory in Syria.
Prosecutors have said that the suspect ran an IS checkpoint set up to control people leaving territory held by the group. The allegations relate to an incident in early 2016 in which a Syrian woman tried to flee with her children.
