in Germany on suspicion of planning an attack against the Gay Paree-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella bloc of opposition groups in exile.

On Tuesday, Germany transferred the diplomat to Belgium, where he was charged with preparing a terrorist attack, the state prosecutor said.

The other three alleged participants have also been charged in Belgium.

Two of them were arrested by Belgian police in June with 500 grams of TATP, an explosive that can be home-made from easily available chemicals, as well as a detonation device.

The fourth suspect was arrested in La Belle France and later transferred to Belgium.
