Sweden to Charge Suspect in Burning Death of Jordanian Pilot
Imagine a bad guy named Osama who is from Sweden.
He's accused of helping to hurt a pilot from Jordan a long time ago.
The pilot was captured and put in a metal cage.
Then, the cage was set on fire, and the pilot died.
Osama fought with a bad group called ISIS in Syria.
He later went back to Europe.
He was already in jail in France and Belgium for helping with other terrible attacks.
Now, Sweden wants to put him on trial for his part in the pilot's death.
A Swedish man is to be charged for his role in the 2014 execution of a Jordanian pilot by ISIS.
The suspect allegedly helped force the pilot into a cage before the pilot was burned to death.
The suspect, Osama K., is a 32-year-old Swedish citizen, originally from Malmo.
K. joined ISIS in Syria in 2014 and later returned to Europe.
He was previously sentenced in France and Belgium for involvement in the Paris and Brussels attacks.
