New anti-terrorism unit

Here's the interesting part: it was founded on the first of September, before the Van Gogh murder. According to the Reformatorisch Dagblad (a Christian broadsheet - yes, we have those here too), it's called BBE-SIE (Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid - Snelle Interventie Eenheid), or Special Support Unit - Fast Intervention Unit. The article can be found here. It sounds pretty much James Bond to me: the team is comprised of marines, police officers and MP's. According to the anonymous source in the article, BBE-SIE has been deployed a number of times already. Which makes it rather likely they were on duty during the siege in The Hague as well.

It will be the marines that will make the group effective. They may be dismissed however with the first fatalities on the other side.

Intervention, not interception.

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
