Letter of Mohamed B. contained direct threat of Ayaan Hirsi Ali

The Dutch government just released the five page letter which was pinned on Van Gogh's body with a knife by his murderer Mohamed B. The pages can't be found on the internet (yet) but it was just reported that they contain a direct threat of Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a vocal critic of radical Islam. Which makes it all the more ludicrous that her security was extremely lax even on the night directly following Van Gogh's murder on Tuesday.

Update 23.00: according to Dutch PBS, even several experienced journalists were shocked by the contents of the letter, which was written in excellent Dutch. This further compounds the theory that the murderer radicalized in the Netherlands, and not in a distant poor Middle Eastern dictatorship. He was one of us, before his mind got poisoned by radicalism. Very few people have dared to suggest that the murderer was a victim of terrible circumstances that drove him to his act. However, since it's now obvious that he was well educated and led a normal life before he radicalized, these excuses can now be disqualified permanently. He even was a well known and loved volunteer in his neighbourhood. This radical Islamist, at least, didn't get driven into anything. He wasn't a victim - he chose this course of action.

It turns out the letter also threatens Jozias van Aartsen, chief whip of the Liberal Party (which is a right wing party in the Netherlands). Unfortunately, the full text of the letter still isn't available.
