Paramilitary training camp discovered in the Netherlands |
|
A paramilitary training camp of the Kurdish separatist organization PKK was dismantled in Liempde, in the south of the Netherlands.. A total of 29 people were arrested. The Kurds used a camp site as their base. Later today, three people were apprehended in Rotterdam, and there are rather vague reports about other arrests in other places. The PKK is on the European Union list of terrorist organizations.
According to the very tight-lipped authorities, the bust had nothing to do with the Van Gogh murder, but I find that a little bit hard to believe. Never before have there been so many terror-related arrests in only ten days time.

The story just geets worse, doesn't it? Are the Dutch people surprised by this level of anti-democracy activity in their back yard?
