The federal prosecutor`s office said Monday that the 26-year-old German citizen, identified only as Sinan Sefik A. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested after his arrival at Berlin`s Tegel airport. The arrest took place on Friday and prosecutors didn`t say where he had flown from.
Prosecutors accuse the man of joining the now-defunct German Taliban Mujahedeen during a trip to the Waziristan region on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in late 2009 and early 2010. They say he was trained to fight and was involved in producing a propaganda video, but left the group in around February 2010 after clashing with other members.
