| Mole in Dutch security services linked to Bouyeri |
| 2004-11-14 |
| THE Dutch secret service has been infiltrated by an Islamic extremist linked to the killer of Theo van Gogh, the Dutch film-maker whose murder has accelerated Holland's transformation from one of Europe's most tolerant countries into a society increasingly polarised by fears about immigration. Intelligence sources said last week that a mole working for a terrorist group codenamed the "Hofstad cell" had been arrested on suspicion of relaying information collected by the authorities to its members. The disclosure has compounded the embarrassment of the security services, which have admitted they were watching Mohammed Bouyeri, the 26-year-old Dutch-born Moroccan charged with van Gogh's murder, from August 2002. |

| #4 Dutchgeek, can you expand a bit by superimposing cities/towns on the map (not graphically, of course) so we have a better idea about relation between dark blue areas and population centers? TIA |

| #2 Mohammed, he noted, was already the most common first name registered in Amsterdam. Amsterdam, we've got a problem. |

| #1 The biggest blog sites are on something interesting. The mole used to hide his messages in JPG files on his web site. His name seems to be "Ben Amar". Postings like this can be deciphered by some free ware software. At the moment they are using this program to search terorist websites and look for hidden messages.. goto http://www.geenstijl.nl to follow the latest developments |
