Re: Should we assume a warrant was in place for this?

Or should we assume this came about from the cross-borders data slurp?

The linked article is titled Belgium Arrests Two in Probe Over Returning Syria Fighter and includes the following:

"Police said earlier that they simultaneously raided 21 locations as part of two probes into jihadist Chechen groups, the country’s federal prosecutors’ office said in a statement. Prosecutors said the arrests were based on police information concerning a wounded man who had returned to Belgium after taking part in the jihad in Syria."

It at least appears the whole followed what most people would consider a reasonable and legal process.
