Netherlands: Possible Terror Attack Foiled

Concert cancelled as Dutch police investigate possible terror attack

On 23 August, a rock concert in Rotterdam was cancelled after Spanish police tipped off the Dutch about a possible terror attack. Armed officers interrupted the Maassilo concert venue around 1900 local time and found a van with Spanish licence plates, filled with gas canisters. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and questioned. It was later established that the driver of the van had no connection to any possible threat. The Mayor of Rotterdam stated, “It would be wrong at this moment to pile up these facts and conclude ... there was a plan to attack with gas bottles."

The Spanish tip-off comes after 13 people were killed and over 100 injured in an Islamic State (IS) claimed vehicle attack last week in Barcelona. It is advisable to be aware of the serious threat of Islamic extremism and terrorism in Western countries. Take care in densely populated tourist areas. Report any suspicious packages, activity or behaviour to the local authorities and remain vigilant.
