Belgium Detains Four on Terrorism Charges, Including Financing

(Bloomberg) -- Belgian authorities indicted four people of terrorist activity, including financing and recruiting fighters for Islamic State in Syria, after detaining as many as 15 during searches in the cities of Ghent, Deinze and Antwerp.

No weapons or explosives were found during the searches on Tuesday morning, the federal prosecutor’s office said in an e-mailed statement. So far, no links have been established with the terror attacks in the Belgian capital of March 22.
