The probability of a terrorist attack in the Netherlands remains real. But there are no concrete indications. The foiled attack on the Thalys between Amsterdam and Paris made it clear in August that also Dutch tinted goals in his image by 'loners'.
This can be seen in the threat assessment released today by the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism (NCTb). The threat level is substantial, it contains. That has been so since March 2013.
Crash Egypt by bomb
The letter shows that the NCTb assumes that the crash of the Russian Metrojet device over Egypt was caused by a bomb. If the Egyptian branch of terrorist movement IS "here indeed to be responsible for it appears that this is now next to the West means Russia emphatically target has become of this group."
At Schiphol, no additional measures are necessary, the NCTb, finds because the increased threat of IS-angle existed since Netherlands participates in the mission where IS-targets can be attacked from the air.
IS-combatants among refugees
The NCTb does not exclude that there IS fighters are among the refugees who come to the Netherlands, but also says there are no concrete indications.However, talk of 'a single worrisome signal.
According to new figures from the NCTb have now traveled to 220 Dutch IS area. 140 were still there, about 40 people are back in the Netherlands and 42 would have died. More and more Dutch make promotion in the ranks of IS, says the NCTb. That is reason to keep them in additional after returning to the Netherlands watched.
