RPT-French Muslim al Qaeda suspects kept in custody

PARIS, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Four of six Muslims being held in France on
suspicion of recruiting Islamist fighters for Iraq were remanded in custody
on Sunday, a police source said. 

The men were among a group of seven men and a number of wives who were
detained for questioning this week as part of a Franco-Belgian operation
against a group suspected of having links with al Qaeda. 

The women and one man held in France had already been freed. Two other men
were released on Sunday but remained under investigation, the source said. 

The six men are suspected of aiding and abetting a terrorist organisation
while three are additionally suspected of financing terrorism. All are
French nationals. 

The French Justice Ministry said on Friday that it believed a recruitment
ring had been sending trainees to Egypt to learn Arabic and radical Islamic
doctrine, then on to Syria, with the help of a cell in Saudi Arabia linked
to al Qaeda. 

>From Syria, another network would take the recruits to Iraq to commit
"terrorist acts, notably in the form of suicide attacks", the ministry said.
