Isn't The Hague the location for the International Criminal Court? If the UN has it's way that's where they'll send US citizens and US soldiers accused of violating the human rights of foreign citizens. Like if a police officer in the USA stops a middle eastern man dressed in a heavy floor length coat in the middle of the day in the Houston oil refinery district....

Maybe Joran is pulling an O.J.

All kidding aside, glad to see some in the EU grow a backbone and go after evil.

They re-arrested Samir A. who was arrested earlier for suspected terroristic plans but released for lack of evidence.

They are Dutch citizens because they were born here, so they have a dual-nationality, Dutch and Moroccan.

And a little more:

Seven held over suspected Dutch bomb plot
By David Sanderson



Dutch police have arrested seven people suspected of plotting attacks against politicians and government buildings in a series of raids across the country today, during which gunshots were heard.



Government ministries in The Hague were sealed off as anti-terrorist officers arrested the seven suspects. One of the men held was acquitted earlier this year on charges of planning terrorist attacks.

The national prosecutor’s office said the main suspect, Samir Azzouz, 19, was allegedly trying to buy automatic weapons and explosives "probably to carry out an attack with others on several politicians and government buildings".

The Dutch national anti-terrorism coordinator said that the arrests had led to security measures being stepped up at high-profile targets in the country adding that the terrorist threat was "substantial".

Around two dozen police officers in riot gear closed entrances leading to both houses of parliament and the government’s information service as the raids were carried out in The Hague, Amsterdam and nearby Almere. Prosecutors refused to identify those arrested, with the exception of Azzouz.

They said there were another five men aged between 18-30 and one 24-year-old woman. The suspects, who are all Dutch citizens, are due to appear in court on Monday.

Dutch national public Radio 1 said that raids had been carried out on a school in The Hague and that eyewitnesses reported hearing gunfire in the largely immigrant Schilderswijk neighbourhood of the Dutch capital. Police refused to confirm the reports.

"I walked around the corner and saw someone waving a gun shooting in the street," an unidentified witness told the NOS broadcaster.

The Dutch media reported yesterday that renewed threats had been made against two members of parliament, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders, who are both outspoken critics of Islamic extremism. The two went into hiding for several months last year after the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh in Amsterdam.

Dutch authorities raised a national security alert last July after they arrested Azzouz and found machinegun cartridges, a bullet-proof vest, two mock explosive devices, a silencer, maps and sketches of prominent buildings in his home. But a Rotterdam court ruled in April that there was not enough evidence to convict Azzouz for plotting bomb attacks.

He was sentenced to three months imprisonment for illegal possession of weapons, but was freed on the day of the hearing because of time already spent in custody.

Prosecutors have separately linked Azzouz to a militant Islamist network that is suspected of plots to kill leading politicians critical of Islam and of ties to the man charged with the November murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh.

Twelve members of the so-called "Hofstad" group were detained after Van Gogh was killed, and they face trial for membership of a criminal organisation and planning to kill prominent politicians.

The country’s security alert has been at "substantial" since the bombing attacks in London on July 7. This is the second highest threat in the Netherlands’ four-stage warning system.

Wow, hermetically sealed?

Gotta protect the mucky-mucks from chemical and biological weapons attacks. I'm guessing we have the same for our government officals.
