BUDAPEST, Hungary - Hungarian prosecutors say they have taken into custody, and charged with war crimes, a man suspected of taking part in the deportation of Jews in 1944.

Prosecutors say that Laszlo Cs., who has been identified by the Simon Wiesenthal Center as Laszlo Csatary, was taken into custody on Wednesday.

They say Laszlo Cs. was a police officer in the Slovakian city of Kosice, at a time part of Hungary, at a time when the Jews were deported to the death camp of Auschwitz.
