This is the first time that someone has been convicted in germany for the crime rate the 20yearold spent six months in syria last year. Thousands of western volunteers have been joining militant groups in syria and iraq in decent months recent months. The young man admitted traveling to syria and joining militants to fight the assad regime. He said he took part in military operations, but never fired shots at people.

Id love for you to submit more of that for the record

Thirsds, after i left office, the state depa
