Swedish authorities have charged Osama Krayem, a 32-year-old convicted terrorist, with war and terrorism crimes related to the heinous death of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, who was burned alive by ISIS in Syria. Currently imprisoned for his involvement in the 2015 Paris and Brussels terror attacks, Krayem's trial is set to commence on June 4, 2024. The charges stem from the pilot's capture after his plane was downed in December 2014 near Raqqa, during a US-led operation against ISIS. During this period, Jordan was actively working to secure Kasasbeh's release, only for it to end tragically when a horrifying video depicting his execution surfaced online. Swedish prosecutors allege that Krayem, among others, forcibly placed the pilot in a cage which was subsequently set ablaze, leading to his death. Originally from Malmö, Krayem traveled to Syria in 2014 to join ISIS, but has consistently denied his charges. Following his sentencing in June 2022 for prior terror-related convictions, he has been transferred back to Sweden to face this new trial.
