A Syrian refugee has gone on trial on charges of working with a terrorist organization and participating in the kidnapping of a U.N. peacekeeper in Damascus in 2013 in what prosecutors call a "war crime".

The 25-year-old, named only as Suliman A.-S., appeared in court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart with a plaster on his face.

Police said the plaster was covering a wound that was caused by another inmate when he assaulted him with a knife a day before the start of the trial.

The suspect allegedly participated in the abduction on February 17, 2013 and was "involved in guarding the kidnapped victim (a Canadian lawyer) between March and June 2013"
