The men, whose names have not been released, were arrested Friday in different parts of the Netherlands, the National Prosecutor's Office said in a statement. They appeared before a judge in Rotterdam Monday, the statement said. Prosecution spokesman Wim de Bruin said investigators were still attempting to determine the men's nationalities. They have been charged with membership in a criminal organization, he said. The men are accused of providing financial and logistical services to al-Qaida, as well as recruiting fighters "who were prepared to die for the jihad, or Muslim holy war," the statement said. Four other suspects held briefly in the case were later released. The National Intelligence Service opened investigations into recruitment of jihad fighters in the Netherlands after two young Dutchmen of Moroccan origin were killed in Kashmir ( news - web sites) in January. Ahmad el-Bakiouli, 20, and Khaliq el-Massnoui, 21, were killed by Indian border guards, three weeks after their parents reported them missing from the southern industrial city Eindhoven. The men were shot after they stabbed two Indians in an apparent suicide attack at a paramilitary camp. In a separate case Monday, a judge in Rotterdam extended the custody of three suspects accused of plotting attacks against U.S. targets in France and Belgium. Officials have said they have not found any immediate link between the two cases, but that it was under investigation. Two Algerians, a Frenchman and a Dutchman are accused of running a terrorist support network out of a Rotterdam apartment to assist in strikes planned against the American Embassy in Paris and a U.S. munitions depot in Belgium.
