A British man of Somali origin has been arrested at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on suspicion of being a terrorist, prosecutors say.
He had arrived from Liverpool en route to Entebbe in Uganda, they said.
A police spokesman said the man had been arrested before a flight took off from the airport, one of Europe's busiest, on Sunday.
Two Yemenis arrested in Amsterdam on suspicion of planning a terror attack were released earlier this month.
Police were investigating whether the man arrested on Sunday had links to a foreign militant organisation, prosecutors said.
The tip-off to arrest the man came from the British authorities, a spokesman for the Dutch prosecutors' office said.
In last month's incident, two Yemeni men were arrested at Schiphol after flying in from Chicago.
The two were held for several days then released without charge, after an investigation found no evidence to link them to a terrorist plot.

make sure he’s shown his rights!
Two Yemenis and a Somali? Who’d have guessed it. I guess we’d better give them all free housing in Dearborn.
Should be: A Somali man with British Citizenship.
The British are Anglo-Saxons. Somalis are NOT.
In a saner time it would but we live in an upside down world....Wrong is right, right is wrong, black is white, ect. So it fits right in.
Getting hard to keep up.
