Dutch boy received terrorist training in Pakistan
2004-07-23
With the Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat ul-Dawaa, no doubt ...
The Moroccan youth — whose arrest at the end of June reportedly was a major factor leading to the Dutch terror alert issued earlier this month — is suspected of having undergone training in the making of bombs and the use of heavy calibre weapons at a terrorist camp in Pakistan, newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Friday. He was arrested for alleged involvement in a robbery at an Edah supermarket in Rotterdam, possibly in April, in which heavy calibre weapons, reportedly a Uzi submachine gun and a Kalashnikov assault rifle, were used. Such weapons are primarily used by terrorists and professional criminals.

Conflicting newspaper reports have indicated that the teen — identified in one report only as A. — was physically involved in the robbery or supplied the weapons to two robbers. Both reports appear to corroborate that authorities seized plans of important buildings and installations in a raid of the boy's house.

#2  Since when is a 9mm and a 7.62x39 considered "heavy caliber"? Heavy caliber is usually a crew-served machine gun.
