The Hofstad terror group
2005-03-02
Dutch Report is a Nederlander blog in English that is doing some nice reporting on the trial of Theo Van Gogh's killer and related WoT issues.
Today newspaper AD reported that the spiritual leader of the Hofstad terror group, Redouan al Issar (AKA Redouan al Issa, AKA Abu Khaled) is in Syria. Suspected terrorist Samir Azzouz received a letter, while he was in jail, from an other suspected Hofstad terrorist. In the letter Samir gets greetings from Abu Khaled, the nickname of the Syrian. "He called from Syria to greet you" is written in the letter to Samir.

The police does not want to say if they know where Redouan al Issar is. But if he is in Syria, the justice department does not think the Syrian will hand him over to The Netherlands because we have no extradition treaty with them.

But there is more news. Amsterdam alderman Aboutaleb says he wants to talk with the members of the Hofstad terror group. It is said that the terror group also planned to assassinate the Moroccan Aboutaleb who is a practicing Muslim. But the alderman does not want to speak with Mohammed Bouyeri because he is suspected of the murder on Theo van Gogh. All members of the Hofstad terror group are all Moroccans, just like the Amsterdam Alderman. Aboutaleb is a frequent visitor of Morocco where he regularly meets with government officials.
