Suspected al Qaeda fighters among four Syrians arrested in Netherlands

Two men suspected of having fought for an al Qaeda-linked group in Syria were among four Syrian migrants arrested in the Netherlands, Dutch authorities said on Friday.

 

The national prosecutor's office said in a statement that the two men were from 2012-2015 members of the Nusra Front, which the Dutch government designates as a terrorist group, and had travelled to the Netherlands as "refugees" in 2015.

 

A third Syrian man was arrested in possession of four kilograms of marijuana while the fourth had travelled to the Netherlands using fake documents in 2017.
