Alerted by a detailed tip from Spanish colleagues, Dutch police arrested a 22-year-old man early Thursday and said he was suspected of preparing a terrorist attack on a concert by a Los Angeles rock band.
The arrest in Brabant province, south of Rotterdam, came hours after police cancelled a performance Wednesday night by Los Angeles band Allah-Las at a converted grain silo in the heart of the port city.

Police in Warsaw, Poland, said security was being beefed up for the bands performance there Thursday night.
