Belgian police have executed 14 house searches as part of a sweeping terrorism investigation, resulting in the detention of seven individuals for questioning, the federal public prosecutor's office revealed on Thursday.
According to the released statement, the suspects are accused of preparing a terrorist attack, though the specific targets remain unidentified.
The raids were conducted in various Belgian cities including Antwerp, Liege, Ghent, and the Brussels region. A judge will later determine whether the suspects will be formally charged. The prosecutor's office has yet to respond to a Reuters request for more details.
