Austria: Man accused of multiple Syrian battlefield murders
VIENNA — An Austrian state prosecutor says his office is preparing multiple murder and terrorism-related charges against a Syrian man who reportedly says he killed badly wounded members of the Syrian army with bursts from his submachine gun.
Prosecutor Hansjoerg Mayr says the 27-year-old told others sharing a migrant shelter in the province of Tyrol that he killed at least 20 victims who were wounded during fighting in Syria to spare them from suffering.
