THE
HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch prosecutors say police have arrested a
Syrian on suspicion of war crimes and terrorism in his home country
where he allegedly was a commander in the former al-Qaida affiliate the
Nusra Front.
Prosecutors
say in a statement that the suspect, a 47-year-old man living in the
Netherlands since 2014 on a temporary asylum visa, was arrested Tuesday
in the southern town of Kapelle following a tip from German police.
Law enforcement officers seized a computer, smartphone and documents during a search of the suspect's house.
Dutch
prosecutors say that German police simultaneously searched six homes of
suspected members of the Nusra battalion led by the man arrested in the
Netherlands.
The suspect is due to be brought before an investigating judge in The Hague on Friday.
