A US indictment unsealed on Monday charged two high-ranking Syrian officials under ousted President Bashar al-Assad with war crimes, the US Justice Department said in a statement.
The indictment, which was unsealed in the Northern District of Illinois, charged the former Syrian intelligence officials with engaging in a conspiracy to commit cruel and inhuman treatment of civilian detainees, including US citizens, during the course of the Syrian civil war.
