#2 Looks like they got him, well, somebody:
A man entered the Turkish Embassy in The Hague on Tuesday and detonated a bomb that started a small fire but did little damage and caused no injuries, the Turkish ambassador said. The suspect, who apparently pretended to be picking up a visa, fled the scene before the 11:30 a.m. explosion but was arrested later, said Frank van Beers of the Internal Affairs Ministry. Van Beers said "someone has been arrested," but did not elaborate. The identity of the suspect was not known and city officials in The Hague declined to comment.

#3 Sounds like the netherlands is becoming a quagmire. I wonder if the Turkish government will reduce their diplomatic staff in light of the recent bombing.
