| Notice that Rooters prints neither the name nor the ethnicity of the "teenager" in question even though both are known. Dutch authorities have arrested more suspects in a plot to attack key sites in the country, including Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner says. Local media last week said that Dutch prosecutors believe they have uncovered preparations for the attacks this year on Schiphol -- one of Europe's busiest airports --, a nuclear power plant, the parliament building and the Defence Ministry in The Hague. It was not immediately clear who was behind the plot. But local media have said that the plot came to light after police searched the home of a teenager, now 18, who was arrested in June in connection with an armed robbery investigation and found evidence linking him to plans for an unspecified attack. Speaking on the television programme Buitenhof on Sunday, Donner declined to specify how many new arrests had been made or give any other details. But he said the Justice Ministry would give more information in coming days. Neither the Justice Ministry nor police prosecutors were immediately available to comment on the new arrests. The teenager's arrest was one of the reasons behind a national security alert in July. |
