Bomb threat suspects arrested in Amsterdam
Dutch police say they have made several arrests following a bomb threat apparently targeting a major shopping street in Amsterdam. Police have also said that they are conducting house searches. No further details have been released. Early Thursday, police ordered the closure of Arenaboulevard -- a shopping street in the southeast of the city that leads from Ajax Football club's Arena soccer stadium toward a large Ikea store. In 2002, Ikea's Dutch branch received a threat that later was found to have been part of an extortion attempt. Local television station AT5 reported that Ikea and other stores in the area had received the threat before they opened on Thursday. Posted by: Fred 2009-03-13 |
