Dutch politician arrested for fake Islamist threat
Dutch police have arrested a member of the anti-immigration party set up by murdered populist Pim Fortuyn on suspicion of sending a threatening letter to his own party purporting to be from an Islamist group. The arrest came amid heightened religious and racial tension in the Netherlands following the murder last week of a filmmaker critical of Islam. Police have charged a Dutch-Moroccan man with the killing and with threatening a prominent politician. Several other politicians have also received death threats since the murder, which has sparked a spiral of revenge attacks on mosques, churches and religious schools across the country.Posted by: Fred 2004-11-12 |
