(AP Photo/Virginia Mayo) Authorities charged nine people today in a Belgian anti-terror court following yesterday's raids in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, the Christian Science Monitor reports. Belgium charged 7 for plotting an attack on an unknown target within the country; they include 6 Belgian-Moroccans and a “Russian of Chechen origin.” Two were charged in connection with a plot to recruit jihadists to battle in Iraq and Afghanistan. A court date is set for Nov. 26. Four others were also arrested, three in Amsterdam and one in Aachen; all are thought to have ties to the planned Belgium attack, and are also believed to have been drumming up cash and recruits for a group of Chechen militants.
