Dutch Accuse 3 In Plot Against U.S. Base
|
The Dutch police said today that they have accused three members of a militant Muslim network of planning an attack on an American military base in northern Belgium. The men, one Frenchman and two Algerians, at least one of whom is suspected of having links with Al Qaeda, are in custody of the police, who had charged them earlier with preparing a terrorist attack on the American Embassy in Paris. During interrogation, the police learned of the plan to attack the American base, at Kleine-Brogel, near the Dutch-Belgian border, a police spokesman said.
Kleine-Brogel is believed to be a nuclear weapons storage facility, so we can guess what their interest was...
Two of the three men â Abdelkader Rabia, an Algerian, and Jerome Courtailler, a Frenchman â were arrested in Rotterdam last Sept. 13 in connection with the embassy plot. The third member of the group, Adel Tobbichi, an Algerian, was recently arrested in Canada and was extradited to the Netherlands on the same charges. Their trial is scheduled to begin next month. The police would give no details about the plan to attack the American base.
They might not even have any...
Authorities said the leader of the men's cell is Jamal Beghal, a Frenchman of Algerian origin who is well known to France's antiterrorist police. Mr. Beghal, the French police said, had close ties with Al Qaeda and had trained in a camp in Afghanistan. He was arrested in Dubai and awaits trial in France on terrorism charges.
It sure would be nice of the Doo-babs of Dubai to send him to Paris. But if they do that, the Soddies will send people to subvert them...
Thanks to Steve for the headzup on this one!
