Terrorist attacks foiled - seven arrested

Thursday 12 March 2009

Six men and one woman have been arrested on suspicion of preparing to carry out terrorist attacks on shops in Amsterdam Zuidoost on Thursday.

One of those arrested is a family member of a man connected to the Madrid bombing five years ago, said Amsterdam police chief Bernard Welten at a press confernce on Thursday evening.

The arrests have reduced the threat of attacks but a risk remains, said Welten.

All of those detained by the police are Dutch with a Moroccan background and are aged between 19 and 64 years old.

Although some of them have a police record for violence none has a previous conviction for terrorism, the police commissioner said. He added that further arrests cannot be ruled out.

Police are still searching four addresses in Amsterdam in connection with the investigation.

Glad your son is home safely!

I was in Amsterdam about 20 years ago. From the sound of it, it would be unrecognizable to me today.

Now if we could just figure out what the Moroccans have in common that would make them want to kill their fellow “Dutch”.

I'm glad to see that someone else understands the seriousness of the situation!

My grandfather used to get some bozes of “stuff” from there...I just happened to remember the name of the place...

He used to have a supplier that sent him some “stuff” from....shhhhhh, Cuba...Before the dark days...

I don’t actually smoke, but I remember how the house smelled of un-smoked tabacco for his cigars and pipes...

I miss him a lot...

At first glance, I thought you said, “Molsons,” and I wondered how Canadians got into the story...

Well take one guess, it was the Dutch LEFT that facilitated that. And the only person would like to kick them out is Geert Wilders, the guy that was refused in England a few weeks ago. Geert’s party is getting more support by the day. The Dutch are in general very, very fed up with the Moroccans but the Dutch left is just like the left is here. Political correctness reigns.

What might work is a covert team to hunt down and snuff out every family member of all these conspirators. But I didn't take my antidepressants today. ;')

Moroccans.... my guess was Algerians. The colonial power is now the colonized because they are so so stupidly multicultural after trying to kill all Jews in WW2. This is their moronic mea culpa. Replace Jews with Mahometans, worshipers of a false prophet

I spent a week in Morocco years back. Was in Tangiers and drove to Casablanca - about half way there came across the Presidents palace - what a place and at the airport leaving, police just walked through the crowds beating them with belts.
