"Amsterdam teen arrested as self-made bomb is found"

13 July 2005

AMSTERDAM —

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "News agency ANP reported that his parents are of British and Dutch descent. The youth converted to Islam at the age of 14 and quickly became radicalised.

An initial examination of the device indicated it was "potentially dangerous", a police spokesperson said on Tuesday. It consisted of a cardboard bar filled with gunpowder, small bullets and a detonator."

THE HAGUE (AFX) -ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Hofstad group, a name denoting The Hague, is described by prosecutors as a terrorist organization that planned attacks in the Netherlands and is linked to suspected terrorists arrested in Spain.

'The investigation of the boy revealed that he had been active on the internet for some time under a pseudonym and showed himself a supporter of radical Islamic beliefs. He was the mediator of several (chat groups) that posted threatening texts, images and videos,' prosecutors said."

"Amsterdam teen arrested as self-made bomb is found"

""The youth converted to Islam at the age of 14 and quickly became radicalised." How? Where? By whom? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? From Expatica, with thanks to Anthony:

AMSTERDAM

ARTICLE SNIPPET#2:"Sources close to the investigation told ANP that intercepted telephone calls showed the youth seemed to have been out to get Independent right-wing MP Geert Wilders.

The MP also confirmed on Wednesday that the teen, who is the administrator of radical Islamic newsgroups, was suspected of threatening him via the internet.

Several young Muslim men are being prosecuted for alleged membership of the Hofstadgroep, which the authorities claim is a home-grown Muslim terror organisation.

Mohammed B., the man who killed filmmaker Theo van Gogh in November 2004, is said by prosecutors to have been an important member of the Hofstadgroep."
