THE HAGUE - A Dutch court on Friday remanded a Dutch national of Iraqi origin suspected of planning attacks on US military vehicles in Iraq in custody for a further month as the investigation continued, the ANP news agency said. The 32-year-old man was arrested in May in the central Dutch town of Amersfoort and figured in an October 2003 video showing insurgents planning an attack on a US convoy near the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Fallujah in Iraq, according to police. A voice is heard explaining how such attacks are carried out. | Got him on video, huh? Let him explain his way out of that |
The man, who has not been identified by the Dutch authorities, has been provisionally charged with membership of a terrorist organization. He was arrested together with three other Iraqi nationals held in the same case. Only one of the three is also suspected of terrorist activities while the other two are suspected of burglary, intimidation and illegal possession of arms. |
