Five arrests in Rotterdam terrorism investigation
Gates of Vienna ^ | 29 Dec, 2018 | Baron Bodissey

Posted on 12/29/2018 7:07:50 PM PST by MtnClimber

The police arrested five terrorism suspects on Saturday. In the morning, four were arrested in Rotterdam. A fifth during the day. Where (exactly) the arrests were made has not been reported.

They are suspected of involvement in the preparation of a terrorist crime. Immediately after the arrests in the morning, the locations where the detentions were made were searched. Four of the arrested men are between 20 and 30 years old and come from non-Western countries. Nothing further is known about the fifth.

The investigation will continue in the coming days, the police reported. “The emphasis is on further research into the nature and scale of the terrorist threat.” The police cannot say anything else.

In June two men were arrested in Rotterdam on suspicion of preparing terrorism and membership of a terrorist organization. It is believed they wanted to attack the security services in the Netherlands.

The police are still seeking a motive.

There is a straight ferry into Hull (Kingston-Upon-Hull...UK) from Rotterdam. Don’t know how strict passport control is these days.

Don’t know about ferry service. The Globalist EU probably eliminated passport requirements within the EU.

When did they start doing it backwards, arresting them BEFORE a mass casualty event?

“The police are still seeking a motive.”

Reminded me of this snark from Instapundit last year.
July 28, 2017
WE MAY NEVER KNOW HIS MOTIVE:
“Machete-wielding man ‘screaming Allahu Akbar’ kills one person and injures several others during rampage in Hamburg supermarket.”
