Seven people have been detained during a series of raids across Belgium in connection with the financing of a terrorist organization and plotting a terrorist attack, according to prosecutors.
Officials said the raids on Thursday were carried out at 14 separate locations in Antwerp, Seraing, Menen, Leopoldsburg, Liège, Kortrijk, Ghent, Zonhoven, and Saint-Josse-ten-Noode.
“Seven people were taken to be interrogated,” the federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement. “Those involved are suspected of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization, financing terrorism and preparing a terrorist attack.”
The suspects had not yet chosen any specific targets, according to investigators. A judge will decide at a later time whether the seven suspects should be charged and formally arrested.
“In the interest of the investigation, no further information can be released,” the statement said.
