(Reuters) Three suspected members of Islamic State’s Afghan branch ISIS-Khorasan detained in raids in Belgium were charged on Friday with planning a terrorist attack, the state prosecutor’s office said.
Four other people detained during house searches across the country on Thursday were released, three of them after questioning by an investigative judge, it said.
Prosecutors said all seven taken into custody in the Brussels region and in cities including Antwerp, Liege and Ghent were natives of Chechnya, with the three who were charged suspected to be members of ISIS-Khorasan.
Prosecutors said there were no indications that the suspects had already chosen a specific target. They declined to give further information.
