Police are investigating whether an asylum seeker living in Germany fought for Islamic State, it has been reported.
The Syrian man, who lives in a shelter in the north-east region of Brandenburg, allegedly told other refugees he had been a member of ISIS.
German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, reported that the man was filmed boasting about his blood-thirsty past.
Investigators are now trying to determine whether the Syrian was a member of ISIS, the newspaper reported.
Germany's
Federal Criminal Police Office said the suspect was filmed by other
refugees boasting about having killed for the terrorist group.
But the authorities stressed they only had the word of others and are still checking to see if the allegations have any merit.
Despite the case, federal police do not believe terrorists are infiltrating Germany through the influx of refugees.
