A former Dutch soldier has been arrested on suspicion of killing Islamic State militants while fighting alongside Kurdish militiamen in Syria.
The 47-year-old was later released but had to surrender his passport to stop him returning to Syria.
Prosecutors said that Dutch law did not allow the use of force apart from in exceptional circumstances.
"Killing an IS fighter therefore could mean being prosecuted for murder," a statement from prosecutors said.
Foreign fighters
Even though the Netherlands is part of the international coalition against the so-called Islamic State (IS), the prosecutors said there was "an important difference between Dutch nationals who travel to Syria on their own to fight against IS and Dutch soldiers who train Iraqi and Kurdish forces".
The Dutch military presence was legal and took place "at the request of the Iraqi government", they added.
The man's name cannot be released under Dutch privacy law and it was unclear when he left the military.
Prosecutors said further investigation into the soldier's involvement was required to decide whether charges would be brought.

Figures. Netherlands is probably the most wussified, hyper-liberal country in Europe, and that is saying a lot.
Europe is suicidal.
Will Europa Burn?
(Yes.)

Not guilty.
Muslims are now an endangered, protected species. Western civilizations will protect it with YOUR LIFE.
This man needs to breed with as many dutch woman as possible
Yeah, but it was a great place to go on leave.
Yes. The former are actually doing something useful.
Not much different from Bambi’s Rules of Engagement.
We capture unlawful combatants, on the battlefield and bring them to Gitmo, just so Bambi can release them to conduct more terror.
To trial of any kind, just released.
And what happens to our soldiers if they kill the terrorists, knowing our catch and release policies?
So, is this one Laz would be okay with?
You cannot mess with any member of the protected class. A Government will come down on you with all its power if you do. As long as muslims are killing Christians, Jews, and any others that a Government considers expendable, they are a protected species.
It IS reasonable to for the State to restrict its citizens from fighting for other nations. You are not supposed to conduct your own foreign policy (even if you are a Kennedy).
Still, I would have welcomed him home with a big dinner, a medal and a dump truck full of ‘Attaboys.’
Their military had run out of practice ammunition for training so the troops had to go running around saying “bang bang” .... true story.
lol...

Correct.
I was reading today one lovely Islamo-Nazi executed his own mother because she asked him to leave ISIS. He reported her to the other Islamo-Nazis then dragged her out into the street and shot her in the head. Hey come on, who WOULDN’T want to protect a guy like that!

It should be considered no worse than smashing a cockroach with a magazine as he is scurrying away when the light is turned on.
Just clarifying their dhimmi status for their overlords.
