From 'International Herald Tribune': Judicial officials in France say an anti-terrorism judge has filed preliminary charges against nine people suspected of financing terrorism. The officials say the nine face preliminary charges of association with a terrorist enterprise and financing terrorism. The ruling came on Tuesday. The officials say eight of the suspects were detained Friday and a ninth was arrested over the weekend. Two other suspects were detained Friday in Germany and the Netherlands as part of a three-country police sweep. French authorities suspect the detainees collected funds for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the United States calls a militant group with close ties to al-Qaida.
