Dutch raid 'terror' camps

Dutch authorities have raided a camp suspected of training Kurdish guerrillas for "terrorist attacks" in Turkey and have arrested 38 people.

About 200 police swooped across the south of the Netherlands, including on a farmyard campsite, where night-vision equipment, passports and a gun were seized. Prosecutors say about 20 people were being trained for "the armed struggle of the PKK in Turkey, including terrorist attacks".

The PKK, or Kurdistan Workers Party, has been fighting for 20 years for a Kurdish homeland in south-east Turkey.

The Turkish community of about 350,000 is the largest minority community in the Netherlands. The number of Kurds there is estimated at from 40,000- 100,000.

Europe again and again and again. Let's start that good old isolationism and arm ourselves to the teeth.
