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.

There.
Fixed it for them.
Was wiretapping used? If so, I thought it was illegal to do it without a court order. Oh wait.... Thats America. Sorry.....my fault; wrong country
Just got back from Holland a few weeks ago. By far my favorite place in Europe. And those damn Muslim hawkers at Central Station in Amsterdam are as bad as the terrorists! I think they piss the Dutch off more than the terrorists...lol.
Why the hell haven't the nations of the NON Muslim world ORDERED the deportment of EVERY non-citizen Muslim who even DREAMS about supporting Jihad?
Those who are actually CAUGHT in the act - should be IMMEDIATELY shot as spies.
It will be interesting to see how our Closet Muslim, Black Racist and America hater reacts to the next act of war against us.. We are NOT required to commit suicide or wait for the bastards to come for us...
If it is WAR they want - we should accommodate.
But if we shot all the suspected Mooslims, who would drive our taxis?
... or a sect of French Huguenots.
Doesn’t it just infuriate you the way these nuetered, secular, willfully obdurate, dingos can’t ever manage to decide whether the Islamist connection has any merit to the story? As though they, every single time there is a terrorist act, must pretend they do not know there is any pattern to terrorist acts?
Well, I suppose you captured all that by saying, “Damn Mormons”, but I felt I had to rant and decimate something.
Deport, deport, deport.
Repatriate.
Cut off funding.
You willfully display your anti-diversity bias by dismissing out of hand the distinct possibility that Swedish Lutheran Grandmothers could have been involved in religiously motivated violence here. If we do not seriously embrace that possibility, we are haters and involved in profiling.
You are absolutely right. I will go to the TSA right now and apologize to them for frisking my 96 year old grandma!
Think about expanding re-education as a community organizer.
Give back. You know?
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. ;')
WORKS FOR ME!
I hope they are all brought to the US so they can get their rights protected and a fair jury trial with Alan Dershowitz as their attorney.
Actually the Quakers ARE unAmerican. Read Peace & Revolution by Lewy. While Pol Pot was slaughtering 2 million Cambodians, the Quakers were saying it was all just American lies.
Read raplh Peters coulm in today’s NY Post.
I wonder if any of the terrorists were named something like mohammed abdul al ibn yada yada.
Ahhhh Grasshopper - how little you know of the arcane and deadly ways of the Methodist Ladies’ Auxiliary.
Their brutal exploits at semiannual Neiman-Marcus white sales are the stuff of legend...
And beware their “flying elbow” technique during poultry BOGOs at Publix.
More fearsome and devastating than the Wu-Shu pinky hold.
Doubt not that they were behind this evil plot, for long have they hungered to seize control of the tulip bulb market
One bulb to bring them, one bulb to find them, one bulb to rule them all and at a chicken casserole social bind them.
A.A.C.
and who would work at the Seven Eleven selling slurpies?
Your blatant racism has played right into the hands of the Norwegian terrorist groups .. sleeper cells in every American neighborhood ... just waiting to go a-viking.
FYI, Muslims are the ROP ...and don't you forget it, infidel!
Thanks for the ping. We know they didn’t get them all, but I wonder how they caught them???
