      Belgium Frees Terror Suspects

      (Newser) - Today Belgian police released 14 men accused of plotting to break free an al-Qaeda suicide bomber, the AP reports. A court ruled there was not enough evidence to justify holding them more than 24 hours—the standard time to present evidence on a suspect in Belgium. "The police get the same time to question a terrorist as they would a shoplifter," one expert said. "It's a judicial fiasco." More »

      3 Arrested in German Terror Plot

      (Newser) - German officials have arrested three suspected Islamic militants involved in a "massive" and "imminent" plot to bomb the Frankfurt Airport and the Ramstein Air Base, a U.S. and NATO military hub, the AP reported this morning.

      Fort Dix Plot Draws Out 'Lone-Wolf' Terrorists

      (Newser) - The foiled Fort Dix plot revealed the one thing U.S. intelligence agencies least wanted to see, report Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball: evidence of an emerging home-grown jihadist movement. The would-be terrorists were "lone-wolf" operators, who drew inspiration from online videos and instruction manuals rather than taking orders from groups like Al-Qaeda. More »

      (Newser) - Six alleged terrorists are under arrest after plotting an attack against New Jersey's Fort Dix Army Base.
