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.

I’m not sure, Flutters. There was a warning phone call the night before. Perhaps they traced the call, or were already on the watch list - or that the person who called infiltrated the group.

If I moved to live on an Indian reservation or to an African country I would still be referred to as something other than an Indian or an African.

These terrorists are not British, Dutch, Norwegian, Australian. The terrorists arrested in Holland are islamic pigs. Why try to be politically correct when it clouds the real issue.

Some insight here:

Amsterdam: Terror suspects questioned

Dutch police on Friday continued to question seven detained individuals suspected of plotting to bomb stores in Amsterdam.

An anonymous warning call police received Wednesday around midnight led to the arrests, Radio Netherlands reports. The caller had given police names and addresses of seven Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent who allegedly planned to bomb several stores near the stadium of soccer club Ajax, including an Ikea furniture store. The call led to the closing of stores in the area and also to the cancellation of a concert by U.S. rock band The Killers planned for Thursday.....

So we have Spainish terrorist bombers related to Dutch terrorist bombers. Do you mean to tell me the Islamo-Terrorists actually cooperate on an international level? It can’t be, it just can’t be. And I thought it was on the US that the Islamo-Terrorists hated. I just don’t understand how this could be.

Well, by gosh, every non-Islamic country should just talk to these fellas and gals. If we understand them, they’ll, what, just disappear into the holes out of which they slithered?

Very interesting. I’m curious to know what they find and what materials they have.

Thanks!

Well, maybe the Dutch should have tried harder to make them feel a part of Dutch society, then there wouldn’t be any need for these people to plot terror attacks. /sarc

To be fair, the Dutch, French, Germans, Belgians and especially the Italians have been aggressively deporting the Moroccans, Turks and other troublemakers with a frenzy in recent months. And I know a number of Dutch-Canadians who moved back to the Netherlands and are standing their ground.

That’s the only way to respond to Islamofascists— if you run away, you’re doing what they want. Stand up straight and defend your homeland.

Did I say antidepressants? I meant “mood stabilizers”.

Y’know what makes a great prescription for mood stabilization among terrorists?

Hot lead. ;’)

Hi. I’m new here, but I spent teen years in Brussels, Belgium 1985-1989. There were certain areas I wouldn’t even get out of my father’s van for fear of the innocent Moroccan “youths”. When downtown, groups of them would start to follow us around menacingly and we’d switch from speaking English to speaking French out of fear. One New Year’s Eve, a group of Moroccan revelers separated a 14 year old American girl from our group and groped her all over. It took about 7 football players punching and kicking to get her out. This has been a problem for decades.
