Court extends custody of three suspects, discloses alleged terrorist plot
A Dutch court on Thursday ordered three suspects held for two weeks to investigate suspicions they were preparing a terrorist explosion, said the national prosecutors' office.
The suspects were arrested in Rotterdam by a special anti-terrorism unit on New Year's Eve on the basis of information gathered by the Dutch intelligence agency, a statement said. It was the first alleged terrorist plot uncovered in the Netherlands in more than two years. Prosecutors said only that the three were ''arrested on suspicion of making preparations to create a terrorist explosion,'' but the target was not certain. (AP)
