Berlin - MENA
German prosecutors said Thursday they filed terror charges against two men they said were members of the Daesh group who traveled to Syria via Turkey in May 2014, Fox News reported.
Federal prosecutors said Thursday that 27-year-old Ayoub B. and 26-year-old Ebrahim H. B. -- whose surnames were withheld under German privacy rules -- have been charged with being members of a foreign terror organization.
The 27-year-old allegedly underwent weapons training and later took part in fighting near Syria's Iraqi border.
Prosecutors said the 26-year-old volunteered to carry out a suicide bombing in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, but the plan collapsed after some of the Daesh members he traveled with were arrested.
The men returned to Germany in late August and September last year.
They face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
