In the Netherlands:

Shocking that some involved have previous convictions in regards to attempts to travel abroad for terrorism purposes.
Sounds like a bloodbath has been avoided.

I thought I would annoy everyone by getting a de telegraaf article on it (" I dont do forrin " and even more laughably, " I fink de BBC does forrin news better than the local sources" )

but incredibly they have an English news-site - with really very good english

the suspects were looking for arms and had got no further

Petah, your last statement, I think that's how they got foiled.

They probably intended to attack the annual Commemoration of the anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem / Oosterbeek which took place last weekend and always attracts many vets and supporters.
I went for many years until ill health overtook me.

so how much pussy footing about have TROB prescribed before we can say it's TROP?

// Petah, your last statement, I think that's how they got foiled.//
nope sorry you dont foil a plan by looking for arms

I meant to point out that the plan was in an earlyish stage
( unlike Salisbury fr'instance where any foiling was definitely post facto - or post mortem ! )

I have just had a look at 'Google Translate' they don't seem to have a PP to English option.

[Mamyalynne]

Do they have a TTT one?

[Mamyalynne]

Glad they have been stopped in their tracks, wherever they were up to with planning.

o the google translayer is back after a long absence !

"I put it foo da google translayer and it didnt fink narfin!" How I have laughed at that well used comment over the months - This news is from the Netherlands and de telegraaf is a newspaper with a internet presence from the er Netherlands. (funny forrin spellin see ). But you really knew that didnt you ? And they have an English version - which I think both of us didnt know. ( Bofe uv us... sorry)

Come on Balders time to roll out your well used one-liner " you bin on da sauce tonight den!" - erm have you ? Blimey it is a laugh a minute on AB

And almost as an afterthought in that report ....

//Earlier this month a jihadist was shot after stabbing two American tourists in Amsterdam.//

“The suspects were in search of AK47s, hand guns, hand grenades, explosive vests and raw materials for several [car] bombs," prosecutors said in a statement.

From what I can decipher from PP’s ‘posts’(I use the term VERY loosely) he appears to find the highly likely scenario of a terrorist atrocity something to scoff at and trivialise.

Weird.

Paris is obviously a far-distant memory I guess....
