BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has charged a 20-year-old German citizen with joining a banned militant Islamist group during six months he spent in Syria last year and also with taking arms training and plotting attacks.
The federal prosecutor's office named the individual in a statement on Tuesday only as Kreshnik B. from Frankfurt am Main, as is customary in Germany. He is charged with membership of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), whose fighters have made big territorial gains in Iraq over the past two weeks.
