A SYRIAN refugee who was killed at the Greek-Turkish border in March was probably shot by a Greek soldier, a British-based team of researchers has found. 

Mohammed al-Arab, 22 and from Aleppo, was shot in the neck on March 2 as he attempted to cross into EU member state Greece along with thousands of other asylum-seekers after Turkey opened its borders to them.

Witnesses alleged that he was shot by Greek soldiers, who first fired plastic bullets before switching to live ammunition. This was dismissed by Athens as “fake news.”
