Syrian citizen sentenced to 3 years in prison in Germany
BERLIN -- A German court has sentenced a 25-year-old Syrian citizen to three years in prison for membership in a foreign terrorist organization.
The man's defense had claimed that as part of the Nusra Front he was fighting the IS extremist group, "which is being fought against by the entire free world," but the court said fighting in a terrorist group cannot be justified because it is battling another terrorist group.
The court's statement said the man arrived in Germany in 2015, but didn't provide any further details.
