German authorities arrested an Afghan man accused of being a member of the Taleban and participating in the killing of an Afghan police officer. Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that the 20-year-old, identified as Omaid in line with German privacy rules, was arrested on Friday. German media reported that the suspect is accused of joining the Taleban in Afghanistan in or before 2013 and recruiting members for the group. Prosecutors alleged that in early 2013 he shot a captured policeman who had been tied to a tree and beaten. They said that Omaid was then supposed to carry out bombings but was not prepared to do so and fled via Iran and Turkey to Europe. He arrived in Germany in November 2013.
