Swedish authorities have charged a convicted terrorist over the 2015 killing of a Jordanian pilot who was burned to death in Syria.
Osama Krayem, 32 - a Swedish citizen - was on Tuesday charged with war and terrorism crimes relating to the death of Moaz al-Kasasbeh.
Krayem is currently in prison after being convicted for his role in the 2015 and 2016 terror attacks in Paris and Brussels respectively.
The BBC has contacted his lawyer for comment relating to the latest allegations. He has previously denied the charges, Swedish public broadcaster SVT reported.
